I most heartily agree. And after working on preserving for 3 days this week I am finishing up my morning tea and letting the sun warm the chill out of the air and the next 2 days are devoted to gardening. :-)
We are even going to the next town up the road tonight to each fish so I don't have to stop and come in to cook dinner. Okay, there's an added reason of taking my widow friend out, just to get her out of the house this week, but it coincides nicely with my alloted gardening time. ;-)
In Texas, wildfires, extremely low streamflows, barren pastures, and declining wheat conditions were symbolic of worsening drought over much of the state.
Will you be fishing with a pole (enough water) or basket (dried up pools)?
LOL, I am not a real fish lover, except for tuna and we did have a casino at Laughlin that did a beer batter fish fry on Friday nights, and it was wonderful.
Good that you are going out to dinner, you earned it and need a rest.
Thank you for taking your neighbor with you.
I know that everyone calls when you loose a loved one, but after 6 months, folks forget that you are still alive and even more lonely.
