Happy Sunday!
Here’s a weekend waterview from Lake Norman.
It’s been a while since I shared a lake post and I’ve had a few comments and emails
about our lake level with the drought conditions back in the fall.
I’m happy to report that occasionally the weather man gets it right!

True to the predictions for an ‘El Niño Winter’,
it was a wet winter for the Southern US. We had more than
14 inches of rainfall for the month of January and February.
Our lake level went from this . . .
And back to normal lake levels again. . . .yippee!
Resident Canada geese are here year round but they seem
to congregate and flock together more in the early spring.
It won’t be long before we see baby goslings and larger flocks. . .
Nesting season is in full swing and a pair of Eastern Bluebirds have taken up residence
in our dovecote by the lake.
Boating activity has picked up with our warmer temperatures
and mercury hit the 80 degree mark this past week.
Lola and Sophie are are enjoying the warmer weather and a little chair time.
And ready for a boat ride!
We’ve enjoyed some beautiful sunrises and sunsets over the last several weeks. . .

Lola and Sophie wish you a
Happy St. Pawtrick’s Day!
“May your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow.
And may trouble avoid you wherever you go.”

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

I am so glad to hear that Lake Norman has recovered from the drought. I was so worried. While I was scrolling down your post, I was thinking that you didn’t need to show any table settings today because God has already shown the best table ever! And then I got to your quote at the end. Yes, He is the great artist!
Love the photos, and the lake scenes – so gorgeous. So awesome that the bluebirds have returned, but it’s no secret I despise those Canada geese. Lola and Sophie are living their best life! Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Mary…I always enjoy your water pictures and the sunrise/sunset pictures are gorgeous! Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you and yours. Peace.
Good Morning Mary,
Thank you so much for the tea towels and the book. You made my St. Patrick’s Day. I wish I lived closer to you so I could give you a hug and a “Top of the Morning to you, Lassie”. God bless you in all that you do,
Tracey
Beautiful sunset pictures. it’s so nice to see the lake back to normal levels. Our bluebirds are nesting, too. Won’t be long before we start hearing baby birds in the garden. Lola and Sophie look delighted to be enjoying the outdoors. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Mary, Thanks so much for your beautiful blog. You put a smile on my face this morning, especially the photos of your pups!
I’m glad to hear that Lake Norman has recovered from the drought.
The lake views you have are gorgeous! But Lola and Sophie are the celebrities of the weekend!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you all!
THANKS FOR THE VISIT!!! HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY!! ☘️
I know you are so thankful the water levels are level again. The lake is beautiful and I know it must be heavenly to take a boat ride. Your little fur babies Sophie & Lola look so adorable in their green headbands. Love seeing the beautiful sunrise and sunsets. Isn’t nature perfect? Happy St. Patrick’s day.☘️
Oh Mary, The lake has recovered nicely. We’ve all had lots of badly needed rain and we’re so thankful for it. The sunrise and sunset shots are spectacular! All the beautiful colors are just magical. I love seeing all the birds and geese. I did enjoy that 80 degree day last week but we have a freeze warning tonight and tomorrow night. The girls are so cute in their headbands! They won’t be getting pinched today! Enjoy your day. Happy St. Patrick’s Day. Clara❤️
Good morning, Mary! Lola and Sophie look absolutely adorable in their green floral headbands. They look like they are ready to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. I’m so happy that your lake has recovered, and you have received much needed rainfall. It was a wet winter here as well. I hope you have a most wonderful day!
Breathtaking sunrises and sunsets! So glad your lake level is back to normal, temps are warming and you are enjoying boat rides! Spring is busting out all over here too, I’m so happy that winter is in the rear view mirror! I am still amazed how you get the girls to pose for you, their St. Pat’s head bands are adorable Mary! Happy St. Patrick’s Day! ☘️💕☘️💕☘️

I am so glad your lake levels are back to normal again. That was just too scary! Your pictures are so wonderful.

What a beautiful commentary to wake up to on a Sunday!
Your gorgeous water view photos and cute pet photos are always special. Thanks so much for posting. Happy St. Patrick’s Day.
A little bit of heaven there at the lake—so wonderful!

That’s amazing how the lake level fluctuated. That poetry about the sky is wonderful! How cute are Lola and Sophie with the green head bands! Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Mary, what beautiful views you have. Nothing like looking out at the wonders of nature. It is always amazing to watch the seasons change.
Spring has definitely arrived! Hope you and your fur babies have a very lucky st Patrick’s day!

So pretty and relaxing. And the pups so cute. Love seeing these.
It is wonderful to see the lake back to a normal level. I enjoyed all of the photos, but especially those of the girls with their St. Patrick’s Day attire – so cute!
