Mmmm. 

Trout in the Classroom year is winding down with trips to the tailwater to release trout fry.  I have 36 schools active this year, with 6 trips to the river planned over 3 weeks.  

This was last week's 4th grade class field trip

 

 

And yesterday, 6 high school Aquatic Sciences teachers came out with their families.  The 7 schools so far put 600 trout fry into the river.  

of course, this isn't about raising trout...

... it's about raising conservationists.

Ah, that first cut of the year! Nothing better than the smell of fresh cut grass after a long winter!

Tonight was shower night for Hank. Unfortunately for me, Hank can’t wash himself so it was actually shower night for Hank and me.

We went through that exact thing with our boxer.

I just mowed mine today for the first time this spring too. Sure looks nice after an abundance of moisture this past winter to alleviate extreme drought last fall.

Went to The Ark Encounter last week. Now that’s a boat.

I took the picture before I got in there. Trust me, you wouldn’t want to see me in the shower washing a dog. I hope not anyways.

Actually that’s a ring of thyme growing around it. If I cut that down I’d be in the doghouse for a day or two?. 

Got a start on my wife’s Mother’s Day gift this afternoon. Since we signed the papers for this property two years ago, her and the kid have been taking about getting chickens. I finally got around to starting the coop build today. I’m attaching it to the end wall of our greenhouse, that way we can use the greenhouse heat in the winter to keep “ the ladies” warm, and we can also just open one of the adjoining windows to toss any scraps of lettuce and veggies we pick to give them some treats. Won’t hurt to have some fresh eggs again, I haven’t had chickens since I was a kid living on my parents farm.

Oh, yes!  Nothing from the market compares. 

So tired of other anglers trying to crowd me. You got the whole place, bro. 

 

Someone swung by to say hello. Hank yelled at him but he wasn’t intimidated by him. Early bird gets the suet cake.
