Happy Saturday! Here’s a weekend waterview from Lake Norman. We’re in our typical July weather pattern of 90+ degree days, humidity and pop-up thunderstorms. I’m out the door walking the dogs at 6:30 in the morning and we try to get all our outdoor activities and chores completed before noon when possible. It was 95…
Happy Saturday! Here’s a weekend waterview from Lake Norman. We enjoyed some boating time over the week of the Fourth. It’s been oppressively humid here with the heat index in the triple digits. We’re in the “it’s not the heat, it’s the humidity” stage of summer. . . when you walk outside and are instantly…
Happy Saturday! Here’s a weekend waterview from Lake Norman. It’s been a hot, steamy and stormy week with the heat index in the triple digits. We did manage to find a window to boat, avoiding the heat of the day and between thunderstorms. You know it’s hot when you’re happy it’s a cloudy day and…

Happy Sunday! Here’s a little weekend waterview from Lake Norman. We’re off to a chilly start here this morning with temperatures more typical of late January than early April in North Carolina.

Happy Sunday! Here’s a little weekend waterview from Lake Norman. I took these photos over the last couple of weeks. Ring-billed Gulls always make an appearance on the lake in January or February. . . Birds of a feather flock together, it’s rare to see one gull. . . They usually show up with 20…
Happy Sunday! Here’s a little weekend waterview from Lake Norman. I always look forward to snow days as snow is somewhat rare for us. We haven’t had more than a dusting since since 2018.
