Hemlock Lake usually has some ice by now but when this photo was taken on the next to last day of December the scene was far from winter-like.
in the past few months we have repaired and restored the monument at Memorial Park. The monument base was refinished and the memorial plaques were sent out for cleaning and repair. As far as we know this is the first time since the monument was installed in 1925 that it has received a makeover. The monument was originally installed by a committee of Indiana citizens lead by Alex Stewart, the father of the actor Jimmy Stewart.
December 2015 has been very mild so far but we did have a brief blast of winter that brought some light snow to the Blacklick Valley Natural Area.
