A ride around the lake today finds lots of items of note:
Rudolph the Red Socked Nose Reindeer has lost his head. It fell off of its neck last weekend.
New carriage lights on the formerly pink house on Shadyside look great. Nice lake decor.
Shadyside skating rink has been drained and packed up for the winter.
Dredging was done at south end of the lake and new dock is being built by the curve. My
opinion is that the entire end of the lake should be dredged to make a channel for the weed
harvester to make a complete circuit. If the dredged up material was put in the middle of the area, it would form an island and provide nice habitat for the birds, turtles and other
reptiles, while allowing weed harvesting in the shallow end.
Beaver are back at the south end of the lake. Hope their human neighbors can find a way to
accommodate them.
A pair of geese are staking out nesting area along the creek on the south side of Shadyside at the very end of the lake. Last year when this happened, it appeared that a predator killed one of the nesting pair. Hopefully this young couple will be more successful.
Rounding the lake and heading up Sunnyside, building continues at the three new houses and one big remodel. One new house, up on the hillside, now sports siding. Color is a light sand or putty. Again, the color choice is in keeping with the new lake decor, away from strong colors and towards softer, more neutral or organic colors.
New Findley Lake Area Chamber of Commerce brochures/maps/directories are available at
the Waterwheel Overlook and at member businesses.
The Lake level is officially being raised. The plan is to start weed harvesting in May.
Saw Rennie out playing with one kit. She looks haggard from nursing it, but seems well.
Redwing Blackbirds are now arriving at the feeder. Now the seed is really disappearing.
