This week’s prompt:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “flag.” Use it any way you’d like. Have fun!
There’s a flag down on the play!
That’s the first thing that popped into my mind. Then I went directly to the red flags on wire that follow the buried power cables on our property. Hubby called the “Call Before You Dig” hotline and they came out and marked the path where underground tables are buried. They do not lay these cables in the most direct path I imagined so I am glad he called them. His plans are to install some wooden steps that lead from the elevation of the house down to the lower level of the property.
When I lived in Maine, winter meant ice fishing. Now sometimes ice fishing means fishing with a pole inside an ice shack where you are somewhat guarded from the cold. Then other times you take an auger and drill holes in the ice and set up what we called ice traps. Ice traps are nifty little devices like a tripod of sorts that is set up over the hole in the ice. There is a flag on a wire that is bent and clipped down. If a fish takes the bait, the trap is released and the flag springs up so you can see from a distance when it is time to check the trap. Ingenious!
I think this flags the end of my post. 🏳️I surrender.
