Cabin Fever: Cured

Will and I both had a major case of "cabin fever" yesterday so we decided to go get out of the house for a while. We drove up Oneida Narrows and even fished a little bit in the river. It was soooo good to get out of town for a minute. We took our spinning rods and casted some spinners and lures.




It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining for parts of the afternoon, and some light snowflakes were coming down on and off. I loved being outdoors again. It was a perfect day for trapesing around in the snow and mud! It's been so long since we've fished, I think we were both itchin' for it. The mountains and river were beautiful and we even got to see some wildlife: deer, turkeys, an eagle, ducks, and geese. It made me appreciate again and feel so blessed to live where we do. We have some awesome and beautiful outdoor opportunities that aren't very far away.






An outing like that just wouldn't be complete without a picnic! I love picnics. I made some sandwiches and drinks and we ate lunch in the truck while we were up there. We tried out our thermos for the first time. It's one that we bought a couple of years ago at an estate sale in Pocatello. I made some hot chocolate and poured it into the thermos at home before we left. On our drive home, we decided to see how hot it was still, and it was as hot as it was when I put it into the thermos that morning! Awesome!
