Hello friends and Hivers. Let me give you my weekend activities. Saturday didn't involve too much, kind of a rest day to the most part. Sunday I decided to do a few things.

I got up early Saturday no surprises I usually do. The big thing I had to do was get Watson into the vet. I did this first thing when they opened at 8:00 a.m. He was getting a skin infection on his back so I had to get him into the veterinarian. I didn't take vet pictures because Watson was very uncomfortable and looked sad 😢 The veterinarian gave us some antibiotics and we left with a not so small bill. What do you do? Love has 4 legs too. Pets are part of the family and they need are attention.

This picture of him was taken right before I put him to bed. He was already feeling better after the second dose of his medication. I didn't do much today just watched a little College football with him. Hey the Georgia Bulldogs won, not my team but maybe Watson's team, haha. He did sit at my feet and seemed to show interest in the game. I don't know why but I felt exhausted early and was in bed by 7:30 p.m.

Sunday, I woke up at about 5:00 a.m. whoops 4:00 a.m. due to Day Light Saving Day in the States. The one day of the year where I can get an extra hour of sleep. Well after "Hiving Out" and drinking my first act of coffee I decided to make a good breakfast.

I had beef fajitas the other day and had some left overs so I stuffed my omelette with that along with mushrooms and cheese. I also had just one potato which I sliced up and fried. Eggs have to go with bacon or sausage so why not do both, hehe. I toasted a slice of sourdough bread and buttered it than spread some strawberry jam over the top. Super delicious breakfast and I made good use of some leftovers.

Owning a house comes with maintaining your yard. In the fall, we have to deal with a lot of leaves. Since this is the first time tackling leaves I have the choice of mulching them with lawn mower or raking them with rake. Darn right I pulled that starter chord 😂 plus I only have three leaf bags. Well I ran out of gas just as I finished my front yard. Now the lawn mower did the job it looks a lot better. Probably a better look if I had raked it, trust me I'll be doing that a few times before all the trees are bare. I really need to invest in a leaf blower.

IMG_20231105_112220368_HDR.jpg

I headed to my back yard and raked up a good pile of leaves. I didn't do the whole back yard because I don't have enough leaf bags like I mentioned earlier. As a kid, I use to have so much fun jumping and laying in the leaves. I can remember hiding in piles and than jumping out to scare friends and siblings, haha.

IMG_20231105_113918493.jpg

Oh what the heck let me fall on a bed of leaves, haha. It's actually a bit comforting to be honest. Sometimes we have to let the kid out in ourselves 😊

IMG_20231105_135720951_HDR.jpg

Since I had a little fun let's make it fun for all of you. Here I am holding a field corn cob. I will gift 2 HBD to the first person that can guess what I have in mind for this. Here's a clue, there will be something other than leaves on the ground when I find a use for it. I'll check your answers in a few days. If needed I'll give more hints. Another 2 HBD to the one who has the funniest response. Update Winners Paid out

The day is still young and I headed out to do something I very much like. Here you see where I'm about to enter, a park with a nice size pond. Think I'm going for nature walk? If you think so guess again.

IMG_20231105_145224928_HDR.jpg

That's right time to get my fishing on. Its a beautiful day here, the temperature got up to 67 degrees Fahrenheit. I tell you a few days ago it was was 10 degrees below freezing. I feel like this will be one of the last days to fish the open water. Hopefully I'm wrong after all I didn't think it would be as warm as it is now.

Some of you may know that sometimes I trade fish with a friend that owns a Sushi restaurant. Today I had the mindset to go "Catching" not fishing. I didn't even pack food for myself so I best get to catching 😂 Well I'm not going to leave you in suspense I did catch some fish today.

Well in total I caught about a dozen fish. I fished for about 2 1/2 hours until my dinner bell went off. I'm pleased with what a caught, some were good size for the type of fish I caught. Just caught two species which were crappie and blue gill. The majority of the pictures above are crappie.

I love fishing in the fall for a few reasons. For one it's not too hot 🥵 Another is nature is so amazing to look at in the fall. The water is cold and so are the fish. I believe the fish taste better as well in the fall. The bite is a little bit different in the fall. Fish tend to take there time once they hit there bait. Meaning once they get there food they don't go racing off. So it's takes a different kind of patience.

Once I was done fishing I texted my friend to see if she wanted some fish. It's probably been six months (maybe longer) since I made a trade with her. As you can see she was happy to be the receipant of some fresh fish.

She held up her end of the deal and delivered. I didn't get to catch up with her because she was busy. I may stop in and visit sometime soon during mid-day to chit chat with her. Maybe I'll do a review article on her place at this time 😊
The sushi and dumplings were delicious 😋 I could only eat about half of what you see. So for lunch tomorrow I will devour the rest.

This is it for this guy. I hope you enjoyed my weekend if not I still did, haha. Take care, be safe and enjoy the week ahead.

At least, you have a wide yard there.. Autumn may be exhausting in sweeping the leaves, but I love the rustic view of it hehe ..oh you went fishing again .. That's good on the grill hehe..

avatar

The leaves are just the price to see those rustic views, haha. Yes, been too long since I fished 😊

avatar

Do you grill or fry them?

avatar

I do a little bit of everything. Fry, grill and bake. I've had grilled crappie but bluegill isn't so good grilled

avatar

I loved your weekend. I wish your dog feels better with the treatment and heals completely.
It's great everything you did, you had work, fun, fishing, fun, successful exchanges...dinner and again sushi-fun, great. And the cob, well the normal thing to do would be to plant some kernels to get more corn, but I know what you will do is scratch your back.
It can't be anything else, after you threw yourself on top of those leaves hahaha.....

avatar

It was a combo weekend. Got rested up than Banged out a real fun Sunday. Watson is doing much better than he was. The cob reply I will get back to you on :)

avatar

Awesome catch Bob! Sushi and dumplings loks good yoo. Glad you had. A friend that lokes to trade

avatar

You sure know how to live! Barter fish for food? that's a brilliant idea!
I don't envy for those leaves. My dad has an old walnut tree and oh boy! that means cleaning the yard daily and the amount of leaves is 20x of what you collected.

Poor Watson 🙁 I hope he's ok, not so much your pocket I believe 😁

Hehe, this was all set up through my delivery driver job. We got talking about sushi when I had a pick up at her restaurant and than she talked about how there really isn't any fresh fish at the markets here. Of course there isn't the closest ocean is over 1000 miles away. At first, she said she would pay me for fish but I said no and came up with the food for fish.

Oh yes some trees drop too much, haha. We had a wind storm a few years ago and a couple trees are gone which really makes a difference, hehe. It's work but it's something to do to keep us active.

Watson is doing better, he's getting back to normal swagger 😁

Birds ✈️ and fish 🐠 all in the last few days 😊

avatar

So cool! And the dear Watson again 😍 you know, lately I'm trying to do this kind of super powerful breakfast jajaa yours like great!
Have a happy week my amigo! 🤗
!LUV

avatar

Thanks Amiga, breakfast is my favorite meal and the one I'm most talented at making, jaja. Yup Watson is a big boy he weighed in at 76 lbs !!

Have a great week as well! !HUG

avatar

What a nice weekend you had Bob. What a delicious foods that makes me hungry hahaha. Did you try kinilaw? It's a raw fish. One of our favorite dish here in the Philippines. You must try it.

avatar

Thanks Jean, wish everyday was like this :) Nope I have not tried that fish you speak of. I looked it up looks great with veggies and fruits :)

avatar

Raking pile of leaves is a good exercise hehe.
More hints on a corn cob, it's not easy to guess what's on your mind haha.

avatar

Yes raking leaves is good physical activity, hehe Ok I give another..only have two participating so far.

avatar

@zehn34 & @nanixxx only two participants so far so I give you another clue until one of you guesses it. The first clue was that snow will be in the ground. Second clue: Corn Cob _ _ _ _

avatar
(Edited)

Corn Cob Iced😅🙈

avatar

Nope, haha we will wait for @nanixxx to answer. If she doesn't get it I will have a clue that will definitely give it away :)

avatar

Corn roses 😃

avatar

Haha nope. Next clue 🎵 Frosty the Snowman 🎵 @nanixxx @zehn34

avatar

Well, you'll wait for the snow to fall. You'll make a Frosty the snowman ☃️ and use the cob to make his nose, or whatever.

avatar

Ha ya I will make a snow man but the cob isn't the nose.

avatar
(Edited)

I give up!

it is really difficult with the corncob, the snow and the doll. Back scratching, corn roses, nose for Frosty the Snowman, planting the kernels... maybe make a piece of ephemeral art with the snow and the cob. In short, there is one of a banana that was sold for millions of dollars.

avatar

Sorry I don't mean to make it hard on you. You are close it's part of frosty the snow man. He had a button nose and two eyes made out of coal.

Wow a million dollar banana 🤔 I might have to grab another cob and do something else with it, haha

avatar

It wasn't millions, I think it was 120 thousand, but for the sake of argument it's the same thing.

The banana stuck to the wall

avatar

The end result an expensive banana 🍌 haha.

Since there was a total of 4 HBD at grabs and only 2 contestants I'll split it between the two of you. One for answer and one for funny.

After that I wait for it to snow so I can keep my promise and make a snowman for a user here at Hive

avatar

😂🌞📸 Hahaha ... I have won a prize!!! Thank you.

avatar

Your welcome and I appreciate you for dropping by and reading my whole blog. See ya around :)

avatar

Wow! Thank you for the prize till next contest haha.

avatar

Awesome dude, glad you finally got to do some fishing! When my son and I went to the lake to do the cleanup I just posted about, the weather was beautiful and the fish were kind of biting! Sadly we didn't bring our poles haha, but we saw a grandfather and his grandson pulling in a couple which was nice!

Gotta let the inner kid come out and jump in the pile of leaves! That's a requirement for being a kid with a few extra decades!

avatar

It was fun fishing adventure the weather was perfect. I went yesterday but only 4 small catches and it was windy making it feel cold. Look to chase some trout, hopefully in the next day or too. I will check out the clean up soon. I'm a bit behind here but will get there :)

Why I did this is beyond me but I fell upon no jumping 😂 probably because of the few extra decades.

avatar

In fall season I also love to eat fish. Catching one dozen fishes is a big number indeed. Well, I think I should scratch my mind to guess that what you were thinking at the time when you were holding that corn cob. May be you were thinking about hot dogs?
Or may be about sushi?
Or Something related to fishes.
Why I am spilling so many guesses!

avatar

Haha it was for snowman, I'm going to make when we get the right mixture of snow. The corn cob pipe ☃️

I hope to go fishing very soon 🎣

avatar

Means my guess failed here! Even I Googled "corn cob resembles to?" Hahaha
Actually here we don't make snow man as there is no snow around except ice in the freezer so that didn't came to my mind.

4/5 am start on the weekends? My God, I struggle to get up at 6:20am 4 days a week 🙈 You’re a machine Bob!

I remember you talking about those leaves on read cash… some things never change, hey? Love that you laid in them for a selfie too 😁 !LOLZ but I have no idea what to corn cob is for!

So many fish(es)! I bet you were happy chappy. That’s a nice trade you have with your friend. I !love Japanese food 😍

avatar

Hello Monika. Always wake up early, no alarm clock needed. So many trees here, the leave count on my yard is twice that now. Corn cob is for Snowman's pipe ☃️

I really got out this week, went fishing four times!! Oh ya Japanese food is yummy 😋 Its even better not paying earnings to eat some 😁 I think I've been trading with her for about 18 months now.

Oh btw thanks for the support in the LU world. I really appreciate it. Take care and enjoy yourself 💙💙💙

avatar

Ah, I wish my body had an alarm like this, but for me it’s always drama to get up from bed even after many alarms go off 🙈 What time to you usually go to sleep?

Ah, for the snowman! That makes sense. I wonder if we get snow here this winter. Or maybe while I’m in Poland in December. That would be nice for the pictures 😁

Yess, having that trade with your friend is really cool and beneficial for both!

As for the Lu, I don’t do anything extra, just voting on my favourites and if your posts do well, me and you can get some extra tokens, which helps. These have good value and we get more when we reblog, so thank you too for reblogging 💙

Usually between 9 and 10. The other day at 11:30 than woke up at 2:00 thinking it was 5:00. I didnt realize until I gulped half a cup of coffee down so yesterday I was in bed asleep by 8:00.

Oh yes I noticed the re-blogging value. Pretty cool coins.

Take care and hope you have an awesome weekend 💙💙

avatar

Yeah, that’s the issue with me I think. I just don’t usually do to sleep early enough. Some nights I do, but I still struggle to get up in the morning. Have always been like this 🙈

You too Bob! Although knowing you it will be a busy one as always 😁

avatar

Hope the weekend turned out great Bob! Mine was good, but I caught some stomach bug! 🙈

It was a slow not do much last weekend for me. I worked my way through it.
