I distinctly remember being 5 or 6 years old and my dad telling me that in the early mornings, the lake looks like glass and was completely still. Back then I wasn’t old enough to be setting alarms, but each time I’d wake up and see the lake looking like this it made my entire day. And I’d be so disappointed if I slept in.

It is so peaceful and just fills your day with serenity.

It may be difficult to appreciate unless you’ve been raised here – heck, the whole town may be hard to appreciate unless you’ve been raised here – but I purposely set my alarm super early every day because I’d rather see the lake looking like this than sleep the day away. Love!
