The fishing trip was at the same pond in North Louisiana as the unbelievable fishing trip last week. Craig and Bruce caught eight bass with the three largest weighting 3, 3.5, and 3.6 pounds. All bass were caught on the same bait used a few days ago (that was the bait taken by the alligator).…

Sunflowers, Goats, Traveling, and Skiing

Next year, we will divide the garden in two, and that should resolve this problem. Below: The largest honeydew melon weighted 8.4 pounds. It was large enough to…
