Termites
Seeing swarming termites is NOT a sign you have termites!!
We do live in a forest and our forest landscape has termites who perform a very valuable function (chomp,chomp). This is the season for swarming and it just means a colony is dividing. You can see a swarm anywhere, anytime so do not jump to conclusions.
You can inspect your foundation yourself or call a pest control company to do so for you.

Daylight Saving Time (DST)
This Saturday, March 12th, we observe Daylight Saving Time (DST).
At 2:00 am you will spring your clocks forward one hour to 3:00 am.
This will give us longer days and more time to enjoy the outdoors and surroundings of our beautiful Lake community.
It is also a good idea to check your household smoke detectors at this time as well.
