Penn Lake Sparkles

On sunny days in the warmer months I gaze out my window to Lower Penn Lake. Sure enough the sparkles have cascaded through the water looking like diamonds. ..millions of them. These sun reflections on the water especially in the afternoon bring me moments of joy and peace as I gaze at this masterpiece before me. In the wintertime sunlight hits the snow like an artist sprinkling glitter on a canvas. These and many more incredible picturesque scenes have been captured right outside our window. On a quiet Sunday, a cross country skier slowly makes his way across the length of the lake, a symbol of peace and that maybe everything is holy and right. Or there is a silent canoe slipping through the velvet waters at sunset putting us to sleep with its gentleness. We bought our house because of our view of this lake and we and our family and friends have enjoyed it for several years. It is a daily gift to our little neighborhood that can quiet our hearts and minds with its beauty…. and have fun fishing on the shoreline or kayaking on the water on a warm afternoon. Penn Lake is an unobtrusive lake that is home to those around it. Let’s nourish it and care for it so many families now and in the future can enjoy the lake for years to come….just like we do.
