Plus culinary detours to Spain and Louisiana

Today’s current water level: 76.1%
Spring Forward. Daylight Saving Time arrives this weekend, which means we lose an hour of sleep but gain something arguably more valuable around here: longer evenings. Sunset creeps past dinner, boat docks stay busy a little later, and suddenly that “quick walk” turns into a full golden hour.
Yes, Monday morning might feel suspiciously early, but brighter evenings by the lake? That’s a trade we’ll take.
Here’s what’s happening around the lake this week - one hour ahead of schedule.

How long have you called the Lake Travis area home? |
Last Week’s Poll Results. We asked if you currently own a dog - and this was less a poll and more a celebration.
From “We have 2 and wouldn’t have it any other way” to a nearly 15-year-old furry queen who is “my world!!!,” it’s clear these aren’t just pets. They’re family.
One household is running a full dynasty - three human kids each with their own doodle: Jolene the Sheepadoodle, Willie Nelson the Aussiedoodle, and Whiskey River the Goldendoodle (yes, the names alone deserve applause). Another reader shared they’re on their fourth Golden Retriever, Cali, who at 8 years old reigns unquestioned queen of the house.
And perhaps the simplest takeaway of all:
“A house turns into a home with the love of a dog.”
And thanks to the reader who sent over a dog trainer recommendation - the land shark reports for training this week.
Judging by your responses, Lake Travis homes are very, very loved.
