Three Score and Ten + Day 207 Today, it was a nice day. I gathered up the Ice fishing equipment to take up north next week and put in storage till next season. The Ice Fishing season was not good for me. Maybe I am getting to old to catch fish. I am getting clumsy. But I still need the activity and it fights the winter blues. So I will continue to fish until the last Cows Come Home. On a better note we have spring flowers Crocus and Eranthus [Winter aconite]. It is nice to see color other when white. I pruned the Black Raspberries to day, along with Clematis Vines. It is amazing for me how approaching spring gives me a bounce in my step. I think April and May are my favorite months. Having the daffodils bloom is a yearly high light for me. If I look at the bare vegetable gardens, The perennial beds, The lawn clean up, All at one time it is daunting sight. So much to get done in a limited amount of time. But I have learned something over the years for any major under taking. Just look at todays planned thing to do, But stay at it persistently. Take a satisfaction in every days planned accomplishment. Then take some time and go fishing. The hardest part for me is taking the time for fishing. This year I hope I am better at that. Have a Blessed Weekend |
