It was slow going yesterday morning, getting me and my BFF up and moving. We'd stayed up late - well, late for me; the BFF stays up half the night every night - and it took a lot of coffee for our engines to idle smoothly. We goofed around with music a little bit. Made another pot of coffee. Finally, about noon, I said, "We should get dressed and do something."
BFF had been eyeing the little pond down the hill from the house. She likes to fish but hasn't had much luck lately. She had a rod & reel in the back of her Explorer. No reason why she couldn't walk a few steps and wet a hook, so we walked down to the pond. This pond doesn't see fishermen very often. The edge is ringed with saplings and sawbriers, and knee deep in dead leaves. There was no good place to rear back to cast a lure. I came back to the house and got the loppers and whacked down some of the saplings so BFF could get some clearance but didn't do much good. She hung her lure in an over-hanging limb on the second cast but couldn't get it loose. Had to cut the line and leave the lure in the tree.
There are a couple of lakes not far from my house, and although BFF didn't plan on fishing them this trip, we decided to take a drive so she could scope them out. We ended up driving a huge loop around this part of the county, just sight-seeing.
It was late afternoon by the time we came home. Earlier in the day, I'd seen a recipe for an appetizer made with crescent rolls, sausage, cream cheese, and rotel tomatoes. We actually found all the ingredients to make them. The recipe said to cut each triangle into two triangles and roll up a bit of the meat/cheese/tomato mixture in each one. Folded, they looked like a sheet pan full of dirty diapers.
But they were tasty. We had dirty diapers for breakfast this morning. ;)
Our earlier sight-seeing trip put an itch to fish on the BFF, so she has gone fishing this morning wearing the lucky fishing shirt I made her for Christmas. I hope it works!
