Much Ado About March

You can't see Canada across Lake Erie, but you know it's there. It's the same with spring. You have to have faith, especially in Cleveland.                            
                                                                                              ~  Paul Fleischman                                                                  

The same can certainly be said about Findley Lake, NY! After a long, snowy winter March is the month when we set our sights upon the change of seasons. As spring approaches the snow melts away, the days are longer and warmer, and as if on cue, the spring flowers make their long-awaited appearance. How thrilled we are to see the first snowdrops and pansies pushing up, followed by tulips and daffodils and eventually the flowering trees!


Spring is all about new beginnings. The geese prepare for the arrival of a new class of goslings, the serious fishermen begin to troll the waters and the golfers sprint onto the golf courses. There is a lightness to the air, a spring to our step and a sense of anticipation. Awed by the beautiful colors of new growth, we welcome Spring with outstretched arms of joy and gratitude.


With the exceptions of St. Patrick's Day and March Madness the month of March is typically a quiet time between Winter and Spring. Look at the specials events we have planned:
