I have spoken to some of you quite extensively about my husband's desire to become a full-fledged "hunter and gatherer". Well, the other day we made it official.
This required taking a long bike ride up into the hills behind our house, chopping down a long bamboo pole, fastening the pole to his bike, making sure he didn't clothesline a passerby on the ride back to the apartment, and fashioning a new fishing set up with bamboo rod, hooks, bait and the like...
...and down to the lake we went to catch bluegill, a species here which is invasive to the lake and are meant to be discarded after catching. We had a little heron friend who was waiting for our catch...
We caught 8 that night, and one can usually find Ray trying his luck out on any given night since...
Not a bad way to pass the time...
