We'd been looking at the weather forecast again so we knew the snow was coming. I was even looking forward to it. (I keep telling myself that watching the weather is a part of being retired and needing to know that the weather will be good so we can do "whatever we want", not a sign of getting old.)
We know it's the end of May and it's only going to get warmer. Not like last October when we got snowed in and realized there wouldn't be an "Indian Summer," that winter was upon us and not going away.
After having the snow come down Saturday and Sunday morning, it cleared on Sunday afternoon and we went fishing. The snow had melted, the sky was bright blue, the white clouds puffy, and no wind. The fishing was great because it seemed the fish wanted any of the 3 or 4 different nymphs we were tossing to them. It didn't seem to matter what color we tied on - olive, black, tan, green, pink or orange - they wanted the flies. There was another couple on the river who waded upstream and eventually our friends Stacy, Kelly and Clark showed up and fished nearby. A couple boats drifted by with clients and everyone was happy for such a good day on the river.
