The Lake Florida sunset March 5

The sunset was beautiful again tonight at Lake Florida. When the sky is blue and the day is beautiful you can almost  feel the warmth of summer! Make your vacation plans in a cabin now to watch the sunsets at Lake Florida.

The cabins get new shingles

March is here and on Tuesday morning the supplies arrived to re-shingle the cabins. We had a storm in 2012 and not all of the cabins got new roofs. Justin is back now to finish them. Gigs came himself from Perkins Lumber in Willmar to deliver the shingles. Between trees and power lines it was […]

February is going out like a lamb

We’ve had some really nice days at the lake. Highs in the 30’s and 40’s have caused water puddling on the ice which gives us hope that spring will come soon. The weather people are saying 50 degrees tomorrow. Time to start planning your vacation!

Warm weather vacations just ahead

We don’t have a lot of snow at the resort and the temperatures this winter have been quite variable. We’ve had many bitterly cold days below zero, but today was just the opposite. It’s February 19th and the temperature rose to 41 degrees causing melting everywhere! The sunset is beautiful reflecting on the water on […]

Driving to New London & watching the sunset-2/16/2016

On Tuesday night Bob decided he was hungry for Prime Rib so we were off to the American Legion in New London. We left the resort too early to get the sunset at Lake Florida, but took these shots as we were driving.This first picture was taken at 5:03. We live in a beautiful area […]

Sunsets in the Willmar Lakes Area

Monday night we went to Pizza Ranch in Willmar for dinner. Pizza Ranch has a great fund raising program where they let different groups work at the restaurant and they donate part of their profits from the night and the group gets their tips. Our church youth group at Calvary Lutheran Church was working on […]

Winter hobbies at the resort

Sometimes in the winter, after all of the Christmas cards are finished, the confirmations have been sent and any other important resort tasks have been done, we get time for a hobby (when we’re not shoveling snow!). Last spring I started 2 baby quilts for a new great niece or nephew and got interrupted by […]

Lake Florida Sunset 2-4-16

All of the sunsets in February have been very similar-bold and beautiful. Tuesday night was an exception. It was white everywhere as the wind blew and the snow flew! At times we couldn’t see the cabins!

Sunset at Dickerson’s Resort 2-3-16

It was another cold, bright sunset today! The wind was strong and cold-almost froze our fingers getting the pictures. Here’s hoping for a warmer day tomorrow!

First sunset in February at Lake Florida

January was a bad month for sunset viewing at Lake Florida. We had many days when it looked like we were going to get a picture and at the last minute clouds moved in at the horizon and we were left with nothing. February started out great!   Here’s to another 28 days of sunshine […]
