We know they will come back... but it is always a sigh of relief when Barbara and Kevin return from their annual 'Spring Break". They returned a couple of weeks ago and have some new menu items to try out, and are introducing official "Burger Night" on Thursdays with a yummy Special Burger. Their regular menu is also available. Always fun to check out what's going on with their Website and Blog! Brooks Tavern.

The creek has been frozen for awhile and we have enjoyed seeing the ducks and geese romping around. But, it was a little more interesting this morning. We looked out and there was a magnificent Eagle out there alone in the middle. He was quite content for awhile, just sitting there, checking things out. Then he casually started walking over to the edge and disappeared into the marsh. Guess it was time to get the day rolling.

A few days ago there was a break in our cold snowy winter weather and it warmed to about 40 degrees. Along with two friends, Ray and Carter, we decided to enjoy it with a round of sporting clays at Hopkins Hunting and Sporting Clays. It is conveniently located in Kennedyville, a centrally located town in Kent County.
They have 28 automated stations overlooking ponds, fields, ravines, and woods. We like that you can shoot without having a guide to pull the traps. At the front desk Linda gives you an electronic device you plug into each station to throw one clay at a time, or two simultaneously. Shooting on report is also fun; that is when you shoot at the first target and as soon as the report is heard, the second target is released.
We do not keep score…
