MEG, we had help the first two years living in the country, and he maintained a four-acre garden for us. The best thing was wonderful watermelons we cooled in the pond.
Webb loved to fish in the canals, taking a bamboo cane pole with string and a fishhook, and always caught big-mouthed bass, up to 12 pounds in weight!
We had rods and reels and caught very little, but when I went with him and used a cane pole and minnows for bait, I'd get them, too!
Biggest one I caught was 7 pounds, and good eating...
By the way, we had some baby ducks hatch on V-J Day, yellow, and every one of them had a black V on their foreheads!
