Cottage Getaway - Part 2





We arrived at daughter L's boyfriend's family cottage for our weekend getaway. We enjoyed seeing the deer, chipmunks, blue jays, woodpeckers, sparkling lake water, and beautiful sunsets. Unfortunately it was pouring rain the next day although it cleared up in the late afternoon. After our barbecue dinner, a bonfire was lit and we enjoyed toasted marshmallows. It rained heavily again until early the next morning but the area has been very dry so they needed the rain.

I will talk about our boat ride tomorrow.

What a beautiful place. Love the photos. Sorry about the rain, but as you say, it's necessary. The weather is cooler here, but we have still had almost no rain. Hugs, Valerie

What a lovely getaway. Are these things not where you live, now? Do you live in the city?

I live in the suburbs of Toronto. These photos are about 2 hours north by driving.
