the first Fish of the year

Can you imagine? I caught this in the middle of winter. Actually, this particular day was very warm, as it might look in the pic. This fish tops all I've ever caught, at four pounds and a half, and 19 in. I caught him on a slow little plastic worm, in pond We named Discovery.
Like My mom starts thinking of gardening every spring, I start thinking of fish.

This is why Dad is catching up...



This is why my dad is catching up to how many blog posts I have. I entered and won A novel writing contest with my brother's and sisters. You should check it out. But I declare, November is not a good month to have this sort of thing. It was really fun, All you have to do after signing up is put away your inner editor, and lock him tight in the basement, (And use up all your spare time ). Then write, write, write, until you've reached your word goal, the dead line is November 30.

Here is a summary: The Dragon Lords, a Summary:

Three young men, A Prince and his friends, warriors in training, meet at battle school and influence each other, and in turn are influenced, for good and evil. Entangling family, kingdom, ambition and political alliances create complications that overshadow boyhood and hint at diverging, power wielding, destinies.
