Earlier today, my husband and I went fishing at Locust Shade Park because I read on their website that they stock their lake with channel catfish.  Although I’d be happy to catch any fish I could eat, I’m always aiming at the catfish.  I love me some catfish.

Anyway, we fished for about 1 1/2 hrs, enjoying the cooler weather, despite the wind.  We had some nibbles at our bait, and we saw some small fish around the bank, but we didn’t catch anything.  We know there are fish, though, because we saw the guy across the lake from us catch something.

In addition to the little fish, there were turtles, and a green heron.  Then, as we were hiking back to the car, we saw cicadas (supposedly) having sex.

After loading our gear back into the car, we went to the nearby restroom building.  There were four toilets in the women’s restroom.  3 were unbelievably dirty.  This was the 4th…

I waited to pee until we got to Five Guys.

A little green guy got runned over by the choo-choo train at Wegman’s. (I may be a day away from 50, but my inner child is only 4.)

Thinking of sewing my own cargo pants.

I ironed these patches onto my field jacket some time ago, but they never stuck well. So I’m finally taking time to sew them on by hand. I’ll also put on the others I’ve acquired since then, too.
