The sunset on Thursday was beautiful again. The ice on the creek and the heaves make it even more interesting. […]
Out and about with Bob
February 18, 2012 by
On Wednesday, Bob left at 1:00 to go to a Southern Minnesota Tourism Meeting in Springfield, Minnesota. Five meetings are held in 5 different communities each year. Marlys Vanderwerf was the hostess who planned all of the activities. He always comes home with great little facts about each community. His first stop was the Chamber/CVB Office […]

February 13, 2012 by
Sunday was another busy day. It was our day to work in the church office/welcome center so left home at 7:15 a.m. It was 6 degrees below zero! The youth of Calvary Lutheran Church had a brunch to raise funds for their youth gathering this summer. After church we were off to our obligatory stop […]
2-10-Sunset at PWELC
February 11, 2012 by
Friday we set out for our sunset picture at Prairie Woods Environmental Learning Center which is right next door to the resort. We went to the Westby Observatory Building hoping for the best view. There weren’t any clouds, but the sun was pretty. Sunset at 5:36 with stone fireplace
2-9-12 The Lake Florida sunset
February 10, 2012 by
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 […]
Lake Florida Sunset 2-8-12
February 9, 2012 by
I told you we were going in search of new sunset spots and yesterday we did. At 5:20 we left and went through the Environmental Learning Center the back way. Bob thought we should go to the Westby Observatory, but the sun was still too bright. Interesting what a difference the location can make. When […]
Lake Florida Sunset 2-7-12
February 8, 2012 by
One of our great resort guests (& friend) Betsey, informed me that yesterdays sunset had a January date on it! So sorry-guess I’m not ready for summer yet. With the weather we’ve been having it seems as though it should still be November. Yesterday was another nice day with the temperature getting to 28 degrees […]
The sunset at Lake Florida February 6, 2012
February 7, 2012 by
At 5:15 when I looked out the window the sun was so bright I couldn’t look at it. Bob came home with a pizza which distracted me and I almost ended up missing the sunset! The sunset was beautiful and did you notice, it’s 5:30 when it sets rather than 4:30! Spring is just around […]
The Ice & the Beach at Lake Florida
February 6, 2012 by
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. It has been a different story for the resort owners! The ice has been pushing and moving the sand up towards the […]
The beautiful Frost
February 5, 2012 by
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 […]
