Fishing, Alligator, Pumpkins, Family & Frogs

However, a young alligator did swim over to the bait and follow it around for a minute. Below: The female pumpkin flower has a larger center (Stigma) and…

Berries, Fishing, Orchard, and Family
We have harvested raspberries and blackberries almost every other day for the past three weeks. We had blamed the plants for not producing. Maybe we should have realized that the birds had something to do with the lack of berries. The bird netting made a huge difference. Below: While visiting one of the lakes in…

Fishing, #11 is here, and update on garden.

Bad Weather and some resulting problems.
The bad weather brought tornadoes, flooding and lots of damage to parts of Louisiana and Mississippi. Fortunately, downed trees washed out plants, street flooding, and a partially sunken boat were the worst of it for us.
