Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #128,633!

Pickled some jalapeños and some more cucumbers this afternoon. My wife says we have old lady hobbies but it’s cheap to do and I think it’s good eating things we grew ourselves.

I can’t figure out why my head hurts and my stomach is upset I say as I stand in the 93 degree heat chugging Diet Coke and eating jalapeños right out of my garden

Sometimes an hour or two away from the hustle and bustle quiets the bees in my head. I caught this little guy on a 5wt fly rod throwing a wooly bugger.

I use barbless hooks and practice catch and release as often as I can to minimize stress and injury to the fishies.

Our cucumber plant in our garden is producing way more vegetables than we envisioned. So today my wife and I decided to try our hand at making pickles. Seems like the first batch worked out ok but we will know more once everything is cooled and the seals are checked.

The garden is coming along nicely

If I can’t make it to the river, sometimes I like to take the kayak out and fly fish in nearby lakes. I don’t always catch fish but I usually come back feeling better than I did when I left.

We put this birdhouse out in a tree two years ago. It looks like there either are or were occupants this year.
