October Days


The days are long, lazy and beautiful at Bream as we head towards Halloween. The hurricanes are not happening this season and, as a result, the heavy rains have not come. For the past several weeks it seems that no moisture has come and the lake is receding back towards the level it was when we first came to Bream. Our good neighbors for the last several years, the Rudds, have gone to live in Virginia, so we are awaiting new neighbors who expect to build a house next door. In the image you see here, Jerre is watching the shiners and minnows gather around her feet and vie with Ogden the turtle for the catfist pellets she throws into the water.We experienced a little excitement two days ago when we heard 4 gunshots being fired a few houses down. Nothing unusual in this pistol packin' community. Ah, well...
