Memories are made of this!
Doubt anyone will see this but it's probably something worth noting. If there has ever been an extended period with more sunshine and warm temps in November in upstate New York during the last 77 years, I was somewhere else and missed it. It has been beautiful beyond belief, unless you are a deer hunter. It is simply too warm for the deer to be moving during the daytime. Made another trip down to Lordville to mow/rake the leaves, prune the cling peach tree, burn up the years accumulated debris and put hardware cloth around the new fruit trees. Worked steadily from 11:00 am until the clock in the kitchen said 3:30 and was about to drive back home in the daylight when I realized that it was only 2:30 (the clock hadn't fallen back) and just maybe there might be a bug or two hatching. Drove over the Lordville Bridge and sure enough there were fish up. There was also a drift boat coming out from under the bridge heading for the risers. Continued on up to Bucking...
