Mar 5

Since the weather was beautiful, we decided that it would be a perfect day for fishing.  Surely the fish would be dying (get it??) to jump on our hooks on such a lovely day.....

When we arrived at Elephant Butte the sun was shining and the water was calm.  We set off for the Bluffs and when we arrived, the water temperature was up to 60 degrees!  According to the fish finder there were lots of fish (can you tell what’s coming??) ........ Sadly, none of them were biting.  However, Howard is convinced that they will start any day now since the water temp is slowly, but surely, rising.  We’ll see.

On another front, our peach tree is in full bloom.  The bees are loving it!

The willow is covered in little leaves that are beginning to open and even the mesquite is showing some leaf buds.  Spring is here!! None of the lantana have made an appearance, but the orange tecoma is already growing. The yellow tecoma has not sprouted yet either.  I’m watering these guys and crossing my fingers.........
