Temperatures are within a degree (lower) of the mean at each depth for this date. Apparently the drought hasn't much effect on the waters of Bremerpond. Life is Good on Bremer Pond!

Updated Weekly Ain't much better here. It started out in the sixties this morning. A nasty wind and minor rainstorm came through. It is now 36. Highs in the 40s and 50s predicted for the next several days, with lows in the 20s every night. I'm glad we're heading to the Pond Boss conference! I just hope we get back before I need the snow plow mounted. Last year, we got 10 inches of snow on October 28 -- and Rex got stuck in Sunil's driveway with a load of fish!

Normal ice cover starts the last week of November/first week of December. Notice how the clarity increases as plankton activity decreases? Updated Weekly Life is Good on Bremer Pond!

Some happy times in the Willis home. God bless all your prayers and thoughts. Two ponds, 13 and 15 acres on the Mattaponi River.

Hard not to be a bit cautious but last CT scan completely clear. Really looking forward to recovering energy after those darn chemo treatments. Did manage to scratch down one rooster this afternoon. . Susie insists that she has to go along. Hijacking Dwight's long term thread, or maybe just a good, friendly spot? Thanks to all of the PB family for your support. Some prayers, some thoughts and energy, but all much appreciated. The outpouring of support was truly amazing!
