Stocking up….

….grandson Luis has been here for the past few days and, of course, everyone is put to work so I can supervise.  Here Luis is emptying bags of bass, blue gill and koi into our pond.  At the fish hatchery where we picked up the young ones, Luis got impatient that nothing was biting at the Zett’s pond near Inwood, West Virginia, and simply put his hand down in the water and grabbed a catfish almost two feet long.

Other chores he handled without a fuss:  bringing in some cows so we could collect tail hairs for DNA, feeding the pigs, and repairing a gate.  And mowing, lots of mowing.

Fortunately my children have planned things well so my job as supervisor seems secure for the foreseeable future.
