Snow again-that’s Minnesota!

Two days ago, April 17th, we had boat races on Lake Florida and today the boats are on “ice dock” The sand beach which was so visble is now covered with snow. The weatherman predicted cold and snow and he was right. We are very thankful-we only received about 6 inches rather than the 12 […]

April 4 – the Lake Florida sunset

It took 4 days in April, but we finally got a sunset that we could see. We think it was worth waiting for. How about you?  

The last sunset in March

Dickerson’s Lake Florida Resort – A Long, snowy winter

2013 has been a snowy, windy winter. At the resort, we get some pretty spectacular drifts around the cabins. 1 inch of snow can easily turn into a four foot drift if the wind is from the west or northwest. Here are some pictures of what it looks like at the resort in the winter. […]

Snow vs. water

It’s another day of creativity at the resort. I got the idea to pack a 5 gallon pail full of snow and have our fans on Facebook guess how much water would be in the bucket when the snow melted. We got many people to guess-anywhere from 1/2 inch up to 7 inches. I brought […]

Relaxing on a cold, blustery day at the lake

Sometimes, in the middle of the winter when you’ve had just about as much blowing snow as you can stand, you just need to take a break. That is just what Sasha and I did.  We picked the spot on the floor right next to the furnace register. The cats and I can never be […]

Dickerson’s Lake Florida Resort 1-26-13 The moon & the sunset

  What a great day we had today looking at the sky over the resort. When I went out to get the newspaper the moon was high in the western sky across Lake Florida. By the time I gathered the camera and tripod it was in just about the perfect postition before it would go […]

A Big Resort Project – The Chairs

We have a project for the resort that was started many (I mean more than 25) years ago that has never been finished. One day we had a conversation about it and decided that 2012 would be the year to finish.  We used to have Adirondack chairs at the resort. About 50 years ago, Bob’s […]
