Fishing and the cabin make him happy

 The new deck needed a coat of weatherproof stain before winter comes.
 Steve and Sherie stopped by to visit and gave a great suggestion: use an extension handle!!
Years ago when my home was full of wonderful children Martina McBride's song Blessed was a favorite of mine. At my house I have a hardwood floor to put my feet on and a porch swing and a wonderful family.  I do feel blessed.  (Those children have grown up and have front porches of their own now.)   I also love Lonestar's song about "My Front Porch Looking In".  The cabin is a place that my front deck looking out is beautiful and a blessing to us.   It doesn't matter what season it is, the view OUT the cabin door is the best.
The fall leaves were putting on a great show on our way to the lake.

Marc loves to fish.  We listened to general conference and didn't catch any fish during that time.  At 4:00 we moved to a place I recalled to be Grandma Crosbys favorite magic fishing spot and we caught 7 within half an hour.  That was so fun.  Marc helped me filet them and we got them into the freezer so quickly we forgot to take a picture of them.

               It is morning time in this picture and Marc has been taking care of some cabin business!!                  
                   About 2 pm a storm moves in and it hails like crazy, soon the deck is covered.
                                    The hummingbirds must be confused, is it summer or winter?

 
A summer snowstorm!!!
