grateful, Month 2, Day 19

More salmon today! With rain, the main body of them can fianlly get upriver and the hatchery's pond was THICK with them. Got a humongous male amidst our 7 today, and several others weren't that much smaller. Also, one of the females still had a couple hundred eggs in her and I saved halfish. Gonna see if they can be preserved for Spotty to eat when she gets home. If not, they'll get tossed.

That said, today I'm grateful for the cooler temps while going through the very physical chore of cleaning whole fish (the largest of which was SEVENTEEN pounds and I'll swear more than 3 feet long). Also, Elphie has continued to be a cuddlebug, which delights me.
