Ice Fishing with a 10 lb Catfish!

Scott and Brandon ice fishing....the ice is 4" thick which I still think is very scary!  Scott caught a 10 lb catfish!
Now the water is clear without any ice.  The temperature was 60 degrees on Friday.

                                      The Dream         Robert Frost
I had withdrawn in forest, and my song

Was swallowed up in leaves that blew alway;
And to the forest edge you came one day
(This was my dream) and looked and pondered long,
But did not enter, though the wish was strong:
You shook your pensive head as who should say,
‘I dare not—too far in his footsteps stray—

He must seek me would he undo the wrong.

 Not far, but near, I stood and saw it all

Behind low boughs the trees let down outside;
And the sweet pang it cost me not to call
And tell you that I saw does still abide.
But ’tis not true that thus I dwelt aloof,
For the wood wakes, and you are here for proof

I had withdrawn in forest, and my song               
Robert Frost

Fun and Rest

Buds and Fallen Leaves + Tornado

 So good to hear from you two in Sweden!  It was a stormy day here with tornado warnings..temperature was 72.  But when I came home from work that night it was 38 degrees.

Just some photos of that day and our budding bradford pear tree while the frosty, totally unorganic, glitsy, huge Christmas wreath hangs on our door.  Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
