Is summer ever going to end ??? I’m writing this mid September to meet deadline and it’s still very near 100 degrees daily. Actually my weather indicator says that we are going to have some days in the 80’s this week then back to the 95’s next week. Actually I don’t believe that the temperature is the problem, it’s the humidity. Used to be the humidity during summer months was in the low teens and maybe even in the single digits, however now it ranges from 25 to 50. In fact just looked it up for today and the humidity is 58%. What has become of our California Desert?
Took my walk around the lake this morning and what a disappointment, I don’t believe that I’ve ever seen the lake in worse condition. The algae growth is to the water level, and even showing out of the water, and that can be corrected by using an algae inhibiter. The grass is growing not only around the lake but into the lake by at least 2 feet past the waters edge. All of the metal rods sticking out of the surface around the fountain at the northwest end of the lake should be at a minimum completely underwater. I have lived in Country Lake for just over 34 years and being honest I have never seen the lake in any worse condition. For many years the water level came up to the floor of the deck. There were times when we called and office and told them they’d better turn off the well pump because the water level was touching the deck flooring. The probable answer is for the corporation to hire someone (a company) that has the knowledge and ability to correct the problems. It’s my belief that the water level would go up as water is being added if there weren’t so much algae and growth around the water’s edge. Just the feelings of an old lady that came to live in Country Lake because it was beautiful, yes the lake and all of the greenbelt’s were beautiful, green and clean.
Forgive me, I’m just expressing my feelings and this probably isn’t the best place to do that or the best way to do it.
God’s blessings to each and every one of you !
