Happy Saturday! Here’s a weekend waterview from Lake Norman. I’m sharing some blue sky and blue water views for those of you who need it (including us)! These photos are from the middle of the week with a wet weekend in the forecast. The stars & stripes swooper flags come down after Labor Day, are…
Happy Saturday! Here’s a weekend waterview from Lake Norman. . . It’s the Dog Days of Summer! While we refer to the ‘dog days’ of summer as the hottest, most uncomfortable part of summer, the ‘dog days’ have their roots in astronomy.

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.

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 Saturday! Here’s a little weekend waterview from Lake Norman. We’re happy to be boating again after a fuel line issue. We were almost boating in May, but like a lot of things these days, parts and service are harder to come by! We enjoyed a little boating time over the Fourth of July holiday…

I spotted Audubon’s Masterpieces, like a rare bird, hidden in a clearance stack of books for $9.99~ Complete with 150 prints of John James Audubon’s beautiful and scientific renderings~ Fun to compare his artistic illustrations with our bird sightings at the lake~ Where we often see Osprey, Herons, and occasionally the rare Blackhawk. . . And are…
It’s usually pretty quiet in our corner of the lake until boating season kicks off Memorial Day, continuing through Labor Day~ for the most part, just us and the birds. Herons are here year round~ we have a permanent resident in our cove ~you can see the one in my header, strolling down our dock.…
