Thankful for time spent on the river.
I am blessed.

The river continues to usher peace. 

So thankful for time away from the city.

Girls that know how to pull in hogs and laugh at the simple things. 

Thank you Em & Bek for blessing my life. 

You.Are.Loved.

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

dispersion

I have stepped into streams
As softly as a child
In a graveyard.
Ripples explode
Where skin meets water
And disperse on bated breath
As the morning sun burns away
The gravestone's ghostly sheen.

Ben started his phd at the University of Kentucky.

He is catching lots of bass these days.

We explored Chicago.

I went to the fair, ate tons of fried goodness, & saw interesting things (yes that girl is laying on her pig).

We went to the park with Grayson & Aydie.

The pups don't like it when we sleep in on Sundays--they're hungry.

Ben built me shelves out of old wood floors.

Mel got married to Alex. 

Happy September Friends!

Over the weekend the three of us headed up to Brookville Tailwater in Indiana.

I started us off by catching a 15 inch brown trout with my San Juan worm. 

Ben followed by snagging a couple with his elkwing caddis, dry fly.

Then Jason beautifully pulled in the papa brown with a royal wuff, dry fly.

We had the best time.

Standing in a rushing stream with nothing but the sound of nature as friends pulled in their lines.

Beavers & other woodland creatures watched as we celebrated our win over the running trout. 

I found so much peace in it.
