The first robin of spring!

Last night the New London-Spicer girls basketball team won in the semi finals and will play today for the championship. Our TV has been going bad for some time. I had told Bob that if they made it to the championship, we were going to have a new TV so we could see the basketball […]

The ice, the snow, the geese.

Today is March 18th and the ice is still here on the east side of Lake Florida. Now it has been insulated by a couple of inches of snow!These poor geese must be wondering why they came back to the lake so early! We weren’t hoping for snow, but it sure does make everything clean […]

At Dickerson’s Resort it’s all about the sunsets!

Another great day at the resort. The shingling of the cabins continues in our great winter weather. The ice is getting really dark which means it’s getting water logged. If we are lucky it will just sink. We are so fortunate to live on the east side of the lake and be able to see […]

The resort cat, the squirrel & the sunset

March 6th was a beautiful day at the resort and the cats enjoyed being outside. Climbing trees and chasing after us occupied their time most of the day. Simon found a red squirrel and cornered it up in a tree convinced that he could get it. Of course the red squirrel was much smaller and […]
