Eagle still here

Lots of things to look forward to this almost-December afternoon, but it all suddenly pales as a bald eagle swoops in to perch in front of my window. Just wow.

Fog

Foggy this morning. I can't see the other side of the lake. I love a foggy morning. It reminds me that what I see isn't always the truth. What I see now is a blank wall just beyond my shoreline, but I know that the far shore is still there - beautiful as ever.

The deer are lining the roads. They stand side-by-side and stare as we drive past. One forgot the rules and went dashing in front of us. Not good.

The lake level is up. "How much?" you might ask. "Some." No Measuring in knee-deep water this time of year!

Invitations to the Gilbert Lake Christmas Party are going out today. Will you be there? It's on Saturday, December 4th, at Silvercryst. Cocktails at 5. We'll be reading children's Christmas books aloud. Don't you love to be read to? Join us.
