The Blueberries are Ready!

Hey what a gorgeous past few days.  The weather can stay like this all year as far as I am concerned.  The humidity is low, and the slight breeze makes it pleasurable to be outdoors for either work or fun.  The lake should be pretty busy over the next few days.  Lots of boats, wave runners and jet skis will have an opportunity to be used this weekend.  

The blueberries are ready!!! The Paupack blueberry farm's fields are now open.  They have such a nice place.  The gift shop has all sorts of great things to buy.  They have everything blueberry, anything you can imagine!  They also have ice cream and baked goods.  The blueberry juice is the best.  It is so refreshing after an afternoon of picking.  The berries are easily frozen, so you can enjoy them all year long.  There's nothing like a hot blueberry pie in the middle of winter.  So I hope you all can get out and enjoy, because it's another great day to be alive!

Good things are Happening

Boy what a difference a week makes.  It is going down into the 40's tonight! But, back to 80 tomorrow. Go Joe 16 is this week.  I give him a lot of credit.  It is for such a good cause though.  St. Joe's is a great place.  I like that the other news people are joining Joe on his ride this year. And, I also like that his ride is all local within our viewing area.  Years ago he used to go to other states and ride home.  I remember a few years ago, he road through Hawley.  It was a big deal.  Go Joe!!!

So England has a new Prince.  It's very sweet they named him George after the great grandfather and to honor the Queen. What a lucky little boy, being born into the royal family.

It's another great day to be alive, even if we are just commoners.lol

Lake Living

WOW! It has been such an amazing Summer here at the lake! Late night boat rides over the calm, seamless lake. The moon surely shines a little brighter when your floating in the middle of the serene cooling breezes that eminate off the Lake. Days filled by floating and hopping from the docks. The kids having cannon ball contests and cooling off their moms as we watch and judge...usually everyone ties. Bar b Ques and parties out on the island and tying up together in the cove. Hours of relaxing, good times and making memories.

Now we're back school. Vacationers have gone home. Our busy little area has returned to a typical suburb. Boats are still in but many have already come out. Soon the slips will be pulled and the Big Lake will be empty...but still a breathtaking site.

Winter will come in...hopefully freezing the Paupack for lake activities, such as ice golf, ice fishing, snow mobiling and quad riding and of course, ice skating.

The crowd and play of summer is gone, but the winter certainly had its charm.

Loving lake living...

Mid Summer, Can you believe it?

Well the dog days of summer are half way done.  The high heat from the last 2 weeks is finally gone, and we got some much needed rain last night.  Gardens are starting to flourish, which means good, healthy, wholesome food grown locally.

Things around Lake Wallenpaupack are really buzzing.  Tafton just had it's annual outing.  What a blast! There is always something to do around here, whether it be an activity on or around the lake, or within slight travel distance.  Summer is not over yet!  I plan to enjoy every last minute of it, and you should too.  It's a great day to be alive!

Think for your planet, not your country.

Food for thought

Put yourself out there; because even if you get hurt you will in turn grow. And if you don't grow; what's the point of living?

Happy fourth! 

Loving the sun

Everyone excited for the fireworks tomorrow? Be safe out there and have fun!

Rain, rain, go away!

Hope everyone has been staying safe and dry in this rain!
