As I drove to Augusta Tuesday morning planning to attend an all-day meeting, the weather was balmy with not a breath of wind. I went into the first session and talking with a friend about what a nice day it would be to go fishing. When the session ended he looked at me and said “you are going fishing aren’t you?” My answer was not spoken rather an action.

As luck would have it a group canceled at Libby Camps this week and I was able to spend a few extra days at home. Yesterday I exercised the dogs in a local grouse cover, yes we found a few birds. It is always a treat to work with the dogs when they are at the top of their game late in the season.

Early this week the weather was quite warm highs near 70 in fact, a little too warm for comfort while walking in the woods actually. Saturday we saw a change here at Libby Camps with a few inches of snow and Sunday a cold wind with snow showers. Needless to say a pretty abrupt change in the weather.

I’m hoping that things turn more to normal for the next couple of weeks I love winter but this is just a little too soon for me.
