Comments:

Tonight I took my past neighbor and his children out for an evening on the lake. The wind was brutal till about 7:00 pm, so we stayed within the sheltered area of Black Deer’s Channel until the last hour of daylight.
The fishing was not spectacular, but Luke and Cade both caught fish. Cade was on a mission to catch “one of those toothy critters” and he accomplished his goal. Cade is a very well-mannered and nice ten year old young man. He loves to fish and he is a very accurate caster. When Cade lived next door to me I would take him out fishing and he was always ready and eager to go. Grace is a little too young for the casting game, but she was very well behaved while she cheered here daddy and Cade on to catch some fish.

Observations:

The water is dropping very quickly and the temperature of it is on the rise. The dandelions are in full bloom. I still am not seeing much sign of aquatic plants coming back to life, although I have seen a few lily pads now lying flat on the surface.
