Spring Inspiration and Positive Views of Lake Anna, VA

Spring is a time of new beginnings, a time of hope and expectation.  What a great time of year to consider a move to Lake Anna. 

I cannot think of another time that gets the heart racing just a bit more with anticipation of fun times ahead, time to be with family and friends, time to get the boat ready to launch for a new season of boating, water skiing, fishing, and swimming. Thoughts also turn to lounging in the hammock or sitting down by the dock. It can be a time to rest and reflect.

Just the thought of drifting along on the water at a leisurely pace soaking in the sights is enough to inspire many to begin the search for a place to call their own here at the lake.  For some it will mean a change to full-time lake living and for others it will be the purchase of a part-time home or getaway that will ensure a positive attitude during the work week for their weary souls.

Right now, before the leaves fill in and block the views you can cruise around the lake spotting homes that are tucked in secluded coves and on wooded lots.  You are able to get a different perspective of the many neighborhoods around the lake from your boat than you do as you drive the country roads in the area.

Spring is a time of clear skies providing beautiful sunrises and spectacular sunsets.  The sky and water are often filled with color.  Sometimes it is soft pastels; pinks, violets, buttery yellows and at other times we witness the glory of vivid oranges and reds along with hot pinks.  these are the things we look forward to and appreciate time and again.

(Look, Mom, no filters, no Photoshop, no hands...just another breathtaking sunset viewed from my home.)

In the past couple of days, I've passed alpacas, goats, cows and horses looking just a tad bit more energetic, some even downright frisky.  They sense the time of year and realize that warm weather is here to stay, the days are longer, and the sun is brighter.  Like us, they know spring is here.

The sky seems bluer and the clouds even more billowy.   Grass is turning greener and leaves are popping out on the trees while daffodils, hyacinths, and tulips are making their welcomed appearance.  Homes that have been looking a little stark and beginning to soften with the advent of blooming flowers and shrubs.

Best of all are the smiles on people's faces.  Our winters are not bad at all but no matter how mild the winter is there is such happiness when we realize spring is really here.  Spring is Mother Nature's gift to us.

Now give yourself a gift. 

Visit Lake Anna this spring. 

You may love it just as I do!
