Trout fishing in Damascus, Va with my brother, river glass and jewelry making

Today I got to spend the day with my brother Brian and we went trout fishing together! It was a beautiful crisp fall day! My brother caught a beautiful brown trout and I let too many off the hook to count Lol 😂 I did score some river glass - it seemed wherever I was I would look down and find it- I’m assuming from the strong rain yesterday 

Brian was nice enough to let me have his trout- trout for dinner!!  and as soon as I got home I made some necklaces and a bracelet from some of the glass I found! 

Very thankful to get to be outside on such a gorgeous day!!!
