Lunch with friends

2-9-12 The Lake Florida sunset

The plan for today is to go to the top of our neighbor’s (Al & Lilas’s) hill and get shots of the sunset. Some of you have been there many years ago. I have lived here for 30 years and have never been to the top of the hill! Just to be safe, we started […]

The Ice & the Beach at Lake Florida

It’s been an interesting winter in the ice department. While most lakes have had very thin, bad ice Lake Florida has had good ice the entire winter for the fishermen and ice skaters.

The beautiful Frost

Today was a beautiful day. We woke up to all the trees covered in frost. We’re very thankful we aren’t getting all of the snow like Colorado, but we sure could use some! Bob put the snow blower on the tractor today (just in case!) It was pretty cloudy all day so no sunset to […]

Sunset on 1-28-12 at Dickerson’s Lake Florida Resort

Sunset on Thursday June 2,2011

It’s been a few days since we have posted a sunset picture. Life has gotten very busy and sometimes I’m just too tired to do one more thing at the end of the day. But like the little girl in the Proex commercial, the pictures are still in the computer just waiting to be shown. […]
