If a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work...

...Then today was like winning the lottery. Nothing in picture for scale-the largest Perch was 11 inches long.

new Buck & deer

Yesterday our new Buck stove fireplace insert was delivered & partially installed. They need to come back to install the fitting that connects the stove to the new stainless steel flue liner & they will be replacing one of the side windows that cracked when they tightened the holding screw too tight. (Hint-maybe it's NOT a good idea to use a cordless screw gun.)

We bought the brass leaping deer & the 3 gallon jug last week in Geneva, NY at a bargain used/antique store.

Ross, Jenn & kids visit

Ross & Jenn brought Griffin & Logan for a visit on July 22nd. I've taken way too long getting these pictures up, but I think that you'll agree that it was worth the wait.

Ross & the amazing 4 legged Logan.

















Griffin & his long legs.















The kids loved my wagon full of rocks.

Medusa-boy Logan.





















Snakes are always fun.
