We're Waiting For You...

Okay, you caught me! No, we aren't seeing our flowers blooming yet but we are in between seasons here right now. The snow is gone but leaves have not yet unfurled so I dug into my files for some 'spring time' photos to try to entice you back.

We are in the middle of a projected four days of rain right now and temperatures are hovering in the mid 40s day and night. With the sun well hidden, I even have to admit that it feels cooler right now with our 30 mph wind gusts than winter days that are too beautiful to resist a walk in the still, quiet trails while snow would softly fall all around. Still, the break in the clouds reward us with a gorgeous long range view from many vantage points around the mountain and we have more and more great, sunny days than those that are less than perfect.

Before you know it, the golf course will be open, the pool will be in high gear, we have two events scheduled at our Pavilion by the pool in cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce (Frogmore Stew and a Barn Dance) that promise to be great fun, tennis balls will be bouncing on all courts and our hiking trails will once again be alive with young and old wanting to get back to nature.

So.................when can we expect you? We've missed your smiling faces!

Our Biggest Snow Yet This Season...

March 2, 2009
Big Winter Snowstorm of March 1st



Well, I think I finally did it...I've taken too many pictures to put on this blog post so if you want more, just email me and I'll send some more to you. The pool area appears to have snow covering the pool water itself but it is actually covering the pool cover. Still...an interesting shot.

The recreation building and parking lot were covered in about 15" - 18" of the white stuff, which really made for some interesting pics.

From St. Andrews, the Clubhouse and golf pro shop show up nicely on a cold winter morning.

Another shot from St. Andrews looking up #15 and #16.

From Grassy Gap Loop, here's a shot of #9 with the mountains in the background.

There was absolutely no way this day could have been clearer for mountain views. Looking down #10 from the deck of the Clubhouse.

The cart barn and Fairway Cafe appear to be at the end of a big field instead of the putting green.

The Fairway Cafe through the putting green arbor.

I've never seen the distant farms and mountains jump out at you as much as they did while shooting from the Clubhouse deck.

The practice area was buried beneath a foot and a half of snow. It was about 15 degrees on March 2nd when I took these shots. It became very windy later in the day and the temperatures dropped below zero overnight. It is now back up to a toasty 12 degrees!

Wish you were all here to enjoy it! :)
