Yesterday my mom and I went for a walk through Tynhead, obviously haha. We saw tons of salmon in the river as we were walking. It's that time of year! So we stopped back at the Hatchery. We've been in there lots of times before and the old guys working in there have always been so so SO pleasant with us. They are so welcoming and so happy and eager to talk to you about their work and about the fish. I just love it when someone is so passionate about what they do. And they're all volunteer!
So, yesterday, when we went to go to see them, we had perfect timing! They were just about to lift up the grated crate where the fish were and count each one. So we got to see every fish as they pulled them out and even showed us how the eggs came out of the females. There were chinook, coho, chum, sockeye...All so beautiful and ready to end their journey of life :) It was a good day.
Later that afternoon I arrived to the apartment and Ryan and I headed out to Aldor Acres. We got there right before 'closing' time. So, right before they stop letting anyone else in. But they told us we could stay as long as we want and there would be no rush. It was nice to feel like we had the place to ourselves. It may have been raining but I will take that over crowds any day. I got to see my chickens!! And the piggies, which made me super happy.
We ended the day with cuddling on the couch with some tea and a movie before it was off to bed for me.
Today is Wednesday. Almost the weekend! Friday is the Halloween party, Saturday is the party at our friend Brandyn's house, and then Sunday is my momma's birthday. I'm getting a cake made for her and hopefully taking her out fishing. We shall see how the weather co-operates. If not fishing then a day of relaxing and possibly sushi for lunch! Woo!
Did I mention I love my life?
