Note that not all of those bottles are ours...

Soft Hackle

The new fly-tying nook at my house is almost complete. I couldn't wait, so I sat down to tie a few soft-hackles to get my feel for the area.

Next project, learning how to take better pictures...

Misguided flowers...

... they bloom in November, emerging triumphiant in time for the season's first frost.



I don't know what this is, but it is blooming in my backyard right now.

Backyard

My "waterfront property"

Blueberries

My old man brought some delicious berries back from the family farm. I am bummed that they are all gone...

The Joy of Cast Iron

My Mother-In-Law recently gave me a decades-old cast iron pan that is now at the center of most of my cooking. You can't buy them like this. What a gift!

Popper on a Tube, for a recent bass fly swap...

It is That Time, Already!

Who'dve thunk it...

Anathema

Getting to be that time...

The Very First Post

I have tried, and failed, in the past to be a good blogger. Let's see if this time is any better.

This blog is meant to be a repository for my thoughts on some of the most important things in my live--my LORD, my family, my love of food, and my passion for fly fishing. I hope this blog doesn't become boring or passé, and I pray that I will keep up with it, and not let it fade away into obscurity. OK, lets be honest, it is already pretty obscure as it is. Thanks for reading it anyway.
