Ron baiting a hook

This morning clouded up and looked like it might rain.  But, as it has every day since we’ve been here, the clouds moved on, and it turned into a beautiful day.

I spent part of this morning deep cleaning the Casita.  It starts to close in on me when it gets cluttered.  So I vacuumed the carpet around our beds and under the bathroom door (where Sheba hair collects), and got everything spiffed up again.  It’s surprising how much larger the Casita looks when it’s clean.

We are loving our clear window!

Our refrigerator vent cover arrived from Casita today!  To say I was delighted would be a huge understatement.   I laughed at my jerry-rigged fix, but I’m so relieved to have the little Casita looking pretty again!

The last two days have been warmer and muggy, but not uncomfortable.  We have had to run the air conditioner at night to sleep comfortably though.

Around 4:00 this afternoon, we went fishing again.  We leashed the dogs to trees.  They weren’t thrilled with the situation, but were pretty good about it.

At first, we had a blast fishing for bait fish with crickets.  Those little 4 – 6″ fish hit almost as fast as we could throw our lines in.  But then, when we started fishing with our bait fish, that was the end of the action.

However, I don’t think there is anything as serene as sitting on a shady bank…. just knowing that a huge fish will strike at any time.    🙂

We were out there for three hours before we started getting hungry and decided we’d better head back to camp and cook dinner.

I’m exhausted this evening, but it is that wonderful tired that you get from being outdoors all day.

Another perfect day at Doll Mountain.
