There is nothing like living on a lake! I grew up in Michigan and our family had a cottage on a lake where we would spend a month every summer. I grew up boating, skiing, swimming and fishing.
Living on a lake now brings back all of those memories. Memories that I want to build with my family.
We live on the Harris Chain of Lakes in Leesburg, Florida. We have access to eight different lakes by boat. Our home is on Lake Eustis. It is a centrally located lake on the Chain. My husband is an avid fisherman and is always after the big bass.
One of my lake life pleasures is enjoying the peace of drinking my morning coffee by the water, watching my hubby fish and the birds visiting the dock and strolling through the yard. The egrets, ibis, and heron are fairly used to us being out in the morning. As long as we keep a reasonable distance and don’t make sudden moves, they go about their business feeding on minnows and small anoles. We also get some less welcome visitors in the morning. The gators like to feed by our cypress tree too! In most cases they are very afraid of humans and swim away as soon as they see us. But we have a healthy respect for them and take no chances.
I hope you will follow our adventures of life on the lake(s). I am excited to share it with you. Please comment on my posts and feel free to email me with any questions.
