This is my post for #freewriters weekend prompt the feeling hosted by @mariannewest

The dog has been getting out of the fence, but all she does is go to the front gate and bark for one of us to let her back in the yard. So today I tried to walk the fence to see if I could tell where she is getting out. But I got sidetracked when I found some old pots of pineapples. After pulling them out of the woods I did not have the energy to finish walking the fence.

After resting I decided to take the screws and nuts and bolts off of an old stainless steel grill that my husband was throwing away. I figured we could use them on something because stainless hardware is expensive.

There was a thunderstorm building and by the radar, it looked like it was moving fast so I left to go feed our bait. We feed them crabs, I bust them up and put them in the pens that we keep the bait in.

I used to get the feeling of euphoria when I was on the river or even when I was on land and looked out at it. I really thought I was blessed to have the life that I have had.

I do not have that feeling anymore. I want it back, but unless ocean fish move into the river I do not think that I will ever have it again.
