Dry Weather Lake

The Lake Norfork certainly speaks loudly of our drought.

I have not seen these shore lines for years.

Not allowed to park on the dam, Hubby stopped the truck and said, Hurry!  Take some pictures.  No cars are coming.  So I hoped out and shot.  The dam was not generating power this day.  The river looks green with algae.

Below the dam the river famous for its Rainbow Trout is looking pretty sad.  The Norfork River flows into the White River at the town of Norfork.  White River is looking low too.  May the rains come soon.

The Past Few Days...

 Jake prepared for the two day youth deer hunt.

No luck but there are more seasons ahead.

 I have a new bright spot in my room.

I recovered my ottoman.

 Trees downed from ice storms and tornadoes past
have been re-purposed

into fence posts.

 I saw many Turkey Buzzards in the air

 and on the ground.

Hubby informed me it was breeding season.

Always one to question I wondered

 how they could lay eggs this late in the year.

I'm just telling you what he said.

He said they "bond" now and breed

laying eggs early in the year. 

You'll have to take his word for it.

No way am I googling Buzzard Sex.

Fair warning...I have believed him many times

and he has fooled me.

 We crossed the great Norfork Lake at speeds too high for good photos.

Evan Zander became four.  I keep him every afternoon between Mom go-to-work time and Daddy come-home time.  How in the world did I ever have time to work at a paying job?

Rows...

boat docks on the lake,

green boards where we ate,

Hurry up, boys, we're running late.

Visit Pat for a variety of rows.
