Beautiful October Weekend!!

Yeager Farm's fall scarecrow!! He welcomes you from the driveway-while he moons you!!

The fish we caught Saturday-minus the 2 Jeff cleaned before he realized we hadn't taken any pictures yet!

It has just been the MOST beautiful weekend!! We went to the beach on Friday evening and spent the evening around a fire with Anne and Duane. Saturday morning was quite cool-but we went fishing anyway. Jeff caught a nice speckled trout-the one I caught was only 13 1/2 inches-so back in he went. Later in the afternoon, we went down to the end of our road and Jeff caught a nice red and then we started catching bull croakers-I have never seen croakers this big!! They were SO much fun to catch! We came on back home this morning-got home about 10:00am.

When we got home, Jeff went to work on the scarecrow. After that was finished, he decided to mow a little, then royally broke the brush hog. Someone had put a chain on it and it slipped into a hole on the deck and twisted the yoke until the u-joint broke. Don't know what that's gonna cost us!

I'm making a pot of homemade chili for supper-no Wolf brand here(Jeff can't stand the stuff!) We might even start a fire in the heater for the first time tonight! We are so glad that the cool temps are finally here!!

More Vacation Pics!

Jeff & Tim with the speckled trout they caught. They were both the same size-but Tim's was a little meatier!

Jeff, Tim & Jason seined at the beach and caught a LOT of bait shrimp! They weren't quite big enough to eat-but were perfect to fish with!

Jeff-in Jason's boat- with his big speckled trout!

Well, we made it through the first day back at work! Mine went very quickly in fact and Jeff said his did, too! I'm still working 10 hr days this week and my supplemental pay sheet was turned in yesterday for all the extra time I have worked-around 75 hours-HEH! Our 30th anniversary is Sept. 15th and we are trying to decide what we want to do. We have checked into Fredricksburg and might go there-but we had such a good time at the beach last week-we really thought about just spending some time there. But we would only spend the weekend working! And since it is such a big milestone in our lives-we really want to do something special. The main problem-other than money!-is time. School will be in full swing by then-but my boss has already told me I can have some time off. We'll probably take a Friday and Monday off-but nothing's set yet!

Jeff had fish fried when I got home yesterday-I had him grill some for me-they were SO good! We put several bags in the freezer on Saturday from the ones that were caught. Finally-fish in the freezer again! We had bought some table shrimp right off the boat last week and froze them,too-so now we can have fish and shrimp down at the beach again!

We are back to needing rain again! We have only had little hit and miss showers lately and it's getting dry. I haven't even paid any attention to the garden lately-it's nothing but weeds-although there are still a few tomatoes trying out there. I have been thinking a little on a fall garden and what I might want to get planted. Gonna have to get on that one soon!

Have a great day! :)
