Postcards From the Lake: Bits and Pieces

We're wrapping up peak season at the cottage. Yes, there will be more visits, but they will be shorter and the weather will be colder. Soon it will be time to close up. I always dread that. Yet, these later days have their charms. There have been evenings when we could eat dinner on the porch -- or enjoy some snacks as we watch a sunny day turn into twilight. 

 

There's something about the light at this time of day. It's perfect. 

 

I couldn't resist playing with this photo. Color or black and white? You pick!

I had a lovely sighting of Harry North. He's pretty skittery as soon as he detects your presence, but I did manage one good photo.

 

I had a wonderful day that was a surprise! My friend from high scchool, Nancy, called. She was at their place about 40 minutes away and wanted to get together. Sure! She suggested the farmer's market in Boyne City and it was a fabulous suggestion.

 

It was one of the nicest markets I'd ever been to -- mostly produce but also some food vendors selling mustards and jams.

 

There were beautiful flowers. 

And Nancy found this fellow selling microgreens. He was almost out after she bought some!  

 

Nancy sent this pic of the lavender booth. Oh, that was great. I bought some edible lavender -- we'll see how that goes!

We applauded the Dems promoting our preferred candidates.

 

And after, had a wonderful lunch as we did a little shopping in Boyne City. Isn't this scarecrow great?

 

Then it was back to her place where we talked for a couple of hours before I headed home. And yes, we had to have a photo. The smiles say it all!

 

We also had a visit from Rick's nephew Johnny, who is temporarily working in Michigan. They went hiking and we enjoyed breakfast and dinner together. All good.


 Now home for a bit. But we'll be back soon!
