First, I hope all had a good Labor Day weekend. I have to agree with Sunset that is was a wonderful time at water's edge. We are quickly running out of water so I took the boat out for the winter, but had a grand time exploring the shoreline and all of our new found huge beach. It was odd for me boating in winter water and summer clothes though. Just the water gone in the last 3 weeks makes a huge difference. Any way, I see many had a cathartic weekend and there were hatchets were buried and love seems abounding...good news.

Now for my question. Is the lake facing an ecological danger from all the vegetation growing beyond the 490' mark? I know we get what I call mud grass every fall and winter but I noticed a great deal of weeds and vines, which would not normally see this ground, creeping into the lake. I read (scanned) an article about 2 fellows doing some lake bed farming in Lake magazine and it got me thinking about how thick the late summer growth is on land that we hope will someday be under water again. I also noticed it more in landscaped areas and less in natural areas. Just curious if all the folks who have landscape in their front yards shouldn't do some clearing over the winter or if it will go away by its self? Any educated comments?
