To say the past week has been crazy, as you all know, is an understatement. The excitement for each day is pretty much the same. Every morning we walk down to the bay, (a very short distance), and then we walk along the shore. We also put up a hummingbird feeder, watch Netflix, order blue ray DVDs, occasionally go to the grocery store, and at 4 pm engage in a safe distance happy hour with our friends Barb and Dan.
W got the feeder from our friends Jane and Dave and the hummers moved to it as soon as we put it up. One male has taken over the feeder and attacks any other humming birds that get anywhere near "his", feeder. His female also sits and watches from our tree while he bullies everything else. It has been a bright spot each day. Thanks Dave and Jane!

Lately I have been getting up early and casting plugs along the shore. The speckled trout have moved in and yesterday I had a super day! I caught three slot size trout, lost two more, and it was all in a one-hour time frame. The fresh fish tasted excellent in a caper and lemon cream sauce.
I returned to my spot this morning and lost two nice fish, one close to shore. That means we are going to have cornbread for dinner. Its not a good menu for people on a low carb diet. Still at least we do get exercise while walking and fishing.
One of the mornings our friend Dan fished near me, and using one of my lures, caught his first keeper fish of the year. I put it on a cheap stringer and later watched it swim away as my knot came undone, (never had that problem when I was rock climbing).
Last month we bought a smart tv and so we have been binge watching shows. Schitt’s Creek is a favorite, the Longmire series, and a short series about Tiger Joe Exotics. It amazes us that there are so many people that don’t realize how harmful uncontrolled tiger breeding is destroying the gene pool.
We don’t have HBO and so we are trying to finish Game of Thrones by buying the DVDs. Just got season seven and the goal is to finish all of them by the time we leave for Wyoming. The rest of the tv shows are simply too depressing.

We also have learned to make our own masks, (Renita is the real mask maker). We had a nice talk with our daughter who works in a major hospital. She is also making her own masks as the hospital only has one for each of the members of her trauma team and require them to keep their mask in a paper bag with their name on it.
Blame whoever you want, but it would be nice to have the president stand up and say, as Harry Truman did, that the “Buck stops here”! There is no excuse for not having personal protection equipment for the medical people who try to save our lives, NO EXCUSE!
We still have another month here before our rv park opens in Wyoming. Both of us long to sit on our patio and watch the mountain sides for elk, deer and bear. Keep safe, wear masks, and don’t hoard, (the grocery stores here, especially Heb, are doing an excellent job in keeping the shelves full).
All of our family and friends have so far avoided the covid 19 virus and we pray each day that this will continue. Pleas say a prayer for all who work to keep us safe, heal us, keep the areas clean and sanitized, and make sure we have medicine, food and fuel.
Clear skies
