Jordan Lake. It is delightfully cool on the lake this morning. I hope you get out and about and enjoy some of the crispness … Especially since it looks like we’re going to have rain come in this evening, but, we do need some steady rain to soak the good earth gently. Take care, be safe.

Jordan Lake. Oh my. I looked up and across the Haw River, at the dam, and what did I see? I do believe it is a female long-leg leaf bear! Least ways, I think that’s what it is… But then… sometimes Doc Ellen‘s imagination gets well used… Hope you enjoy the new species!
