Chalky Landscape

Memories of going to our cabin in the north woods in the U.S. midwest. We spent the weekend with my family and our dad's friends and family.

 Chalky Landscape

At the hunting cabin
near rows of corn
they catch lots of fish
in the early morn

Deb and I are waiting
with butter in pans
for our parents holding
walleye in their hands

We cook the catch
on a smoky fire
Make many S'mores
eat all we desire

As I sit on a log
the campfire I stoke
Trees are blurring
in a smudge of smoke.

I guess you had to learn to sit where the wind would not flow campfire ashes into your eyes. ;-)

You brought back memories of my many days fishing and joining my parents at their cottage in the Wisconsin Northwoods. For those who have not tasted walleye or their pan fish smaller relatives, freshwater perch, I would like to tell them that it is one of the finest tasting fish in the world. And even better when caught fresh and fried in butter on a campfire in the morning for breakfast.

And good memories they are too Bump. We've had oodles of similar experiences here as well. We love the woods mountains and lakes, campfires, and fresh caught pan-roasted fish. Can't get much better than that. Thanks for sharing.
