Grumping Along at the Creek

Maybe I wasn't particularly thrilled about getting up early to go fishing on a chilly morning... but getting to the spot early is just how the Rugged Mountain Man rolls, so we did.  After all, Mentored Youth Fishing Day is pretty much an unalterable tradition here.


I can almost always let my attitude get out of hand or I can choose something good and beautiful in what we're doing.  That's the bare bones of it that no one really wants to admit.  

We mamas like to get unhappy and let everyone know about it.


The truth is, I wanted to spend time with my husband and the (not so) Little Blossoms... 
and who can argue with a sunrise like that?  

Fresh air and time away in the Glorious Outdoors are never a bad idea.


There weren't many fish that were caught this time around, but I reveled in the babbling brook


and the peace that passes all understanding.
