Lakefront Living (cont'd again) - Dave's Midwestern Ohio Memories

Series of Guest Blogs by an out-of-state Fish Report reader originally from this area about fond memories of growing up in Midwestern Ohio during the 50’s & 60’s

Lakefront Home (cont’d again)

The last two blogposts documented our quest for a lakefront home. This blog highlights some of nature’s best that we’ve had the privilege of witnessing over the past 30 years of lakefront living. For example, the beautiful sunrises and sunsets are always unique and spectacular. And we love the multitude and diversity of wildlife on the lake as exemplified by these photos.

The highlight of our wildlife watching on the lake occurred one Sunday afternoon in 2011 when within minutes this eagle and buck showed up in our back yard. A few days later, a big storm came in and the oak tree near where the eagle and buck were cited got struck by lightening. We salvaged the tree stump and had this wood carving made to commemorate the sighting. Here’s a youtube video of the buck on the move.

The panoramic vistas are ever changing and spectacular season to season.

Of course, there’s other kinds of “wild life” on the lake as well.

Flowers do great by the lake as shown in these photos.

But sometimes weather can cause havoc by dumping snow and blowing down trees; by count, 5 over the years. Fortunately none have fallen on the house!

Some aerial views of the lake from the 1920’s to the present.

Fish Report readers, Hope you enjoyed the saga of our 40 year journey to find, buy, renovate and live in our lakefront home.
