In The Still Of The Night

The lake was super beautiful, still and serene this weekend. And all I could think about was "In the still of the night, I hear the wolf howl, honey...." Ha ha!! But seriously, check out this gorgeous glass and about 20 pelicans that have been hanging around this spring.

Sea Wall Part Three

The finished project!

It is awesome! We're gonna have our own little strip of beach right under the wall, and if the water comes up as far as we think this year, we'll be able to bring our boat right up to the sand. Thanks Wes, for all your hard work to secure the permits and get this project finished, keeping us within budget and physically working hard to get the area prepped. Maybe I'm biased, but he is the BEST HOA President ever!! He's just the best ever. Period.

Our weather has been so beautiful this week, it just feels like summer! It felt so good to stand barefooted on the sand, and dip my toes in the lake too! Also, we have more and more pelicans hanging around all the time! I wish I could get a better photo of them. I love them so much.

Sea Wall Part Two

The construction began in earnest this week! We are anxious to have it all complete as the lake keeps inching closer every day.

Sea Wall Part One

Wes has been working hard all year to secure the permits allowing us to make improvements to our sea wall. We need to shore it up due to some erosion starting on the lake side of the wall. With the lake coming up as fast as it is this spring, we're cutting it close getting this project done, but on Saturday it got started. We were a little worried driving up in a snowstorm. It had rained all week and we didn't know what kind of condition we were going to find the work space. This is what it looked like on the way up and when we got there.

Fortunately, Saturday morning dawned clear and sunny, and the work began.

Wes, Rusty, Trevor and our backhoe driver worked a full day until the vegetation was cleared and the ground ready for the new rock and sand to come in next week.
