Oyster Bamboo Fly Rods says goodbye to summer

Oyster Bamboo Fly Rods says goodbye to summer

What?  Summer is over?!?!

Fall is near.  Our nights are cooler and the crisp air teases us until noon each day when we inevitably end up in the high 80s. 
I am okay with the heat (if it’s below 70 , I swear I can see my breathe),  but most people are not as tolerant. 
When I walk outside the shop on Main Street, I hear a chorus of complaining from all directions(especially Bill and Riley).
.
One word…winter.  Don’t forget the alternative…winter.
But, until then, we have the magical fall to look forward to soon.
.
Saying goodbye to summer is always difficult for me and this one is no exception.  Here at Oyster Bamboo Fly Rods, we were very busy playing and working over the past several months.  So, if a picture is worth 1000 words…here we go…

play, play, play…Bill and Riley took up pipe smoking when I was not looking

Goodbye to summer…

Until we meet again…

 

EDITOR’S NOTE: Oyster's original blog was on the oldie but goodie platform, Blogger, in 2009, before moving to WordPress. You may find a copy of this post on “The Bamboo Fly Rod Maker’s Widow” blog HERE. I have tried to preserve the integrity—or lack thereof—of each “Widow” post, especially to reflect the resources—or lack thereof—available at the time, as time and technology continue to freak me out evolve.
