Nature Group Travels to Malone Lake

Submitted by Julie Barrick


I am so remiss in doing this write up, but the Nature Group was recently treated to a spectacular day at Jeff Finn’s place near Lake Malone.

I don’t think I can adequately express how beautiful his home and land are. It looks like it could be on the pages of Southern Living Magazine. Jeff and his wife Kathleen, could not have been more hospitable! Thank you all.

I think everyone would concur that the best place to be is on their back deck. It is quite a setting with a pond, a creek and the woods. Jeff had several bird feeders hanging up near the deck, so we had fun photographing the birds.














We also got to walk some trails and do some birding on his neighbors land.

Another highlight of our day was a fabulous lunch prepared for the group by the very talented, Yvonne Hope. It was quite a spread, and no one left hungry. Maria Pappano and Melanie Henderson prepared delicious desserts.


It’s so nice to have Jeff, Yvonne and Maria as new members of our club and so glad that Melanie is coming to the Sunny 16 meetings again😃

Jeff, don’t forget, if you every need someone to house sit for you, Bob Smith is your man!!
