Came out Saturday night and Sunday. CJ and Lisa fished Sunday morning and afternoon. CJ caught and released at least 25 large mouth bass, and one grass carp that broke the line and got away. He said the carp was cruising with 4 others. That means it had to be one of the ones we stocked no more than 2 years ago, but CJ said it was huge. Lisa caught a few perch. They cruised around the pond in Papa's canoe quite a bit. We cooked buffalo and turkey burgers out at lunch. Savannah was napping, so CJ and Lisa took off about 4:30 and we brought Savannah back later with us.
Garden
Harvested about 8 cups of black eyed peas, some tomatoes, and some jalapenos. We had gotten .7" of rain Friday so didn't have to water. Had bought and planted 8 spinach and 8 broccoli plants. Hope they survive (no rain forecast for several days).
Work
Mowed the road and barn, cut up more limbs downed in the fields by the ice storm, dug about a dozen thistle plants either side of the road coming in, cut more spent blackberry canes and pulled grass around the plants, hung a couple of bars of soap in the fruit trees to defer deer, and flagged about 8 pecans I found along the creek coming out of the pond (maybe 20% of the ones I planted there in '07).
