Summertime

Summer type weather is with us again. The scattered rain storms have started to occur in the afternoon, the lake water is warming up to the point where we can swim again and the flora of the lake are emerging. Water lilies are sprouting up around the perimeter of Lake Bream - a welcome sight. Perhaps, with the occasional afternoon shower and the approaching storm season, the lake levels will once again be on the rise.

Caveat Emptor

Floyd's Diner in High Springs is a ways from Bream Lake and Hawthorne, but High Springs has something very much in common with Hawthorne: a nearby Sonny's BBQ. Floyd's, in my opinion, serves up some of the best short-order type food in North Central Florida. Sonny's, as everybody knows, offers some of the best BBQ around these parts . This can be seen above the cash register at Floyds.

Dreams of the Theater

My wife is a bit of an actress and I had a dream that she was starring in a gala production of Camille at the "Hawthorne Theater" (which doesn't exist). This is what I saw in my dream.

Dale Earnhardt Drive

NASCAR is big in the Bream Lake area. It's so big that some of the thoroughfares are named after its heros. Click on the image to see a larger view.
