The top pic is of the bass hubbyc aught off the little dock at our cabin. A stinky worm does it every time.
The next pics are of Steve headed to shore and the other is of Jack reaching for something in his boat and Steve changing a lure. Remember, when you click on a pic it goes full screen.

Long Pond, Willsboro NY

A fishing trip on Memorial Day weekend! Lots of fun, fair amount of fish, a little to much wind, a bit of rain, but an amazing great time! I love this place! Cabin 3, otherwise known as Perch. Built in 1999 because a tree took out the original #3cabin. In our cabin we had myself, hubby, brother Jack and wife Chris, mother and Bessie B. Beagle. Steve, "Berta and her dad Bob with Annie the cat were 4 cabins down.

Juvenile Snapper

Yesterday Autumn the Reddawg goes flying outside through her doggy door. I go after her because that normally means Jackson the black Cat has something he shouldn't have and that she wants to crunch down before I can retrieve and set it free. Well, as you can see in the photos there is a small snapping turtle. I at first thought she might be a box turtle but upon getting 'closer' it was obvious she was not. Jackson was somewhat interested but not like the dog who had a demanding OFF, LEAVE IT command! Good cowgirl! After sometime she, the turtle, gained her strength and made her way to the pond. I do think its a bit early to be laying eggs, but nature really knows best. A sign of a dry summer maybe?

Gardens Alive!

Some views of the rock garden filling in and growing well. I am thrilled thus far! I like the soft overgrown old English look. As if its been there quite awhile. A few more things to add and just keep weeding.

Chicken Coop

So, the girlies have some frill on the outside of their coop! The baskets were purchased last year on our long weekend get away.
The metal what nots have been found around the place, except for my barn hoe which I do use and bought new 20 years ago.
The wreaths obviously are homemade with the greens till hanging from them. The twisty bush stands near the back corner of the barn and is somewhat reluctant to give it up, but I got a bit out of it.
The little plack over the front of the house states this, "The rooster may crow, its the hen who delivers the goods!" and a few stencils are added for some country flare. When the coop was built many years back with my daughter her pal and her brother and their dad, they forgot to paint the inside of the window. I stamped with some brown paint a sun, moon and stars. Why did this take place you ask, well, in posts past you have read that the big bush was taken out and the rock garden extended. While sitting on the deck it drove me nuts looking at the plain brown wall, hense a little bit of play and voila! I love it, now it just needs a country star and a tiny weather vane! Hey my anniversary is coming up! And we are taking a trip "reel" soon!

Blue Bells& Flox

beautious flowers springing forth in the garden.
