Day 753: 5 Minute Freewrite: Tuesday - Prompt: greens

This is my post for #freewrite Tuesday prompt greens hosted by @mariannewest

After seeing this prompt, I am wanting a big bowl of collard greens slowly cooked all day with a nice ham bone. We have not grown collards for a couple of years now. My husband likes swiss chard better, so that is what we have been growing. To me swiss chard is alright but no way compares to collards. I am not a fan of mustard greens or turnip greens but will eat the mustard greens over turnip greens. Spinach is a type of greens that I also love. We grew Malabar spinach and I did not care for it if I am remembering right it was a little slimy.

I know I need to take the good days with the bad ones or visa versa but today was a very bad day. I do not think I have ever fished this hard and caught not one fish I could keep. We knew today would be the last day to fish for the next few days because we are to have a front go through and it will blow for a couple of days then we are to get another front this weekend. So we were on the river as it broke daylight, we went to the inlet but there was nothing there, but yesterday they were not there early so we stayed hoping something would show. My husband caught one at the inlet but left around noon and went to the big flat, he caught one there. At 2:30 he texts me saying this is stupid, I go. I stayed at the inlet moving all over the place, all I caught was another big stingray, I like to never got it to the boat but after 30 minutes of fighting it I was able to get it up and remove the hook.

I left the inlet around 3 o'clock and went to Judahs Island, I was surprised when I skipped a pompano. I anchored and before I could get all my rods out another one skipped. All I caught was catfish and another stingray but this one was not very big.

I left Judahs Island and went to Mays Island and skipped one, threw all my rods out and caught catfish and the pickers (bait thieves) were bad. I said I have had enough and headed for the ramp. I skipped one on Semblers Island and said screw you!!! and kept going to the ramp. It was late when I got to the ramp the sun was setting.

I pull up to the boat ramp dock and someone had backed their vehicle down the middle of the ramp and was washing his coolers. I thought to myself he will be done by the time I get my truck. I drive up to back down the ramp and he is on the south dock looking at the birds, he just left his truck on the ramp. I backed down the south side, hoping the boat sitting there was not in a hurry to pull out.
