Row, row, row your boat.... I decided to take the boat out after breakfast. I caught on crappie. For all my efforts, I caught one crappie?! Oh well...good exercise...right? Right?! I'm going to blame the sun. It was just too sunny. Maybe I'll try again later tonight. Maybe.

The weather is/has been...changeable. Yesterday? Cold. Today? Hot. (89 degrees out on my deck.) Yesterday? Jeans, long-sleeved shirt and a sweatshirt. Today? By lunch time, I was in shorts and a sleeveless shirt. Yesterday? A fire in the fireplace. Today? I using the ceiling fans...but I'm not ready to test out the air-conditioning.

We still need rain. Lots of rain. June is supposed to be our rainiest month. So far, we've had less than an inch of rain during this month of May (according to my digital rain gauge) and I'm not seeing any clouds on the horizon. Come on June! We need some rain. On the other hand...maybe that's why I'm not seeing so many woodticks?
