The Garden Trout season

We cleaned up the perennial beds and I turned over the soil in the vegetable garden before the supposed rain was to come.  I'd say it looks good and I even have a blister on my hand-- it was dumb not to wear gloves. 

More importantly, trout season opened for the Southeastern part of the state.  Sort of sneaked up on me with the strangely cold spring we've had and, I realized, the lack of insects flying around the garden.  For some reason bugs now mean fish food to me.  

Sometimes people look at me and ask what on earth I'm thinking and I just say "nothing" but the truth is I'm usually connecting seemingly unconnected things.  Like bugs and fish.

Happy fly fishing.
