Snow

Last weekend we had splendid weather, mommie was busy with a course the whole weekend, the two boys nagged and eventually I had to give in and take them fishing at one of the many nearby lakes. Surprisingly enough there was no-one else so we had the whole fishing dock to ourselves (I had preached before hand how wild swinging of fishing poles with hooks on, could lead to a whole summer long ban on fishing in the Potgieter household.)

The day’s catch was good – seven little fishes eventually shared the bucket and it took some convincing on my part that those little fishes would not yield any meat and that THEY WERE NOT GOING HOME!!! Here the two fishermen are trying to catch them by hand to throw them back and so that they could be photographed.

The beautiful interior of the building where Gina works – I am taking the photograph from an interior garden where she can enjoy lunch even in mid-winter, sitting under the trees.

This is the building from outside as seen from an island in the Mississippi river. (The red brick building.) This was the last week before the trees burst out in green.
