Today was “day in the country” day.

We went to Ed Hoppe’s plantation to fish in his pond. Ed Hoppe is my building maintenance guy at the station. He is a retiree from New England. We have a lot in common.

Anyway, Here is Melinda trying to be just like her mother (notice the stance)

Here is Rockwell saying “when am I going to be old enough to fish? This looks fun!

Fun because Ed has trained the fish to come to the shore when someone is there (by feeding them) Fishing in this pond is like, well, shooting fish in a barrel? Put a piece of bread on the line and within 10 seconds… You have a fish! Brim, trout, two different kinds of catfish…

On the way out we saw Ed’s brother in law’s livestock (horses and cows) So we decided to stop and say hello.
