My wife asked me what I felt like doing when I woke up yesterday morning. I said, "get dressed and let's go for a drive."
She cautiously asked me where I wanted to go. I said again, "for a drive."
Once we were in the car and on the road, she asked where we were going. I said, "to the lake to have a peek, and then maybe a few other places ie Sparta Candles" that would be of more interest to her. No, I didn't take any gear with me. Wasn't the plan.
Got to the pier in Pt Bruce, there were a few other cars there, people doing pretty much the same thing we were, looking at the lake, walking on the beach, and two guys up by the north end of the break wall were fishing. (They were after catfish and at that time hadn't yet had any luck.) Lake was a very dark chocolate milk in color and slightly choppy. (not surprising after the rain) The washing machine that is the channel with an east wind of any kind was doing what it does. Water didn't look to be any lower than it was last year. Some drift wood and rocks across the pier by the gate and from what we could see, quite a bit of driftwood on the beach as usual this time of year.
When we left she decided Sparta Candles wasn't of interest to her, (didn't matter anyways, it wasn't open when we drove by it) so we went into St Thomas and to a few places she wanted to go to before we headed for home. Nice drive, got us out of the house, and served it's purpose. When we got home I told her she didn't have to worry, I wasn't planning a fishing trip quite yet, and that I've already started thinking about all those things I do every spring before I come out of hibernation. I just wanted to go have a look.
