CHRISTMAS GUESTS

This group of Hooded Mergansers were visiting during Christmas Day. Unlike ducks and geese, they feed on fish. They were busy diving on the north end of Sweetwater today.

CORDRY LAKE SWANS

While out boating and water skiing today, a bevy of white swans flew in and landed on Cordry Lake. I drove by later this evening and they were still there near the dam.

CHRISMAS LIGHTS #2

Ray and Sue Wolfe win the honors for most lights on one display. Drive by and enjoy the scene at Center Lake Road and Chappell Hill Drive.

CHRITMAS LIGHTS #1

Around the Conservancy, several residents have made the Christmas Season more enjoyable with holiday lights. Pictured is the Carrico display on Center Lake Road.

OLD SWEETWATER DOCK

Demolition work has begun on the Sweetwater Lake dock. It has been in poor repair for the past couple of years. I believe that the new dock will incorporate a covered boat slip for the safety patrol boat.

BRRRR!

It's a winter wonderland here with snow on Tuesday and cold temps today. The morning temperature was 2 degrees. Lots of steam coming off the water but the only ice is on small ponds and very north sections of Cordry and Sweetwater.

SANTA WORKSHOP SUCCESS

The Santa's Workshop was a smashing success today! Sponsored by the Cordry Sweetwater Lot Owner's Association, volunteers set up various workstations in the clubhouse with a craft assembly at each station. There was painting, wood crafts, paper ornaments, and more. The Indian Creek Choir entertained, a live band came later and even Santa paid a visit. It was refreshing to see a goodly number of youngsters participating in the project that will surely be repeated next year. Picture is local resident Anita Wright at one of the craft stations.
