Last blast of summer

Labour day weekend was my first, and likely last visit to the cottage this summer. A wet, cold July and August meant there wasn't much opportunity -- or motivation -- to head up to the lake. But in spite of the late date on the calendar, the visit was really great. Lots of sunshine and hours spent reading on the deck, or just dozing. The lake was the coldest I remember in a long time (warm spots were few and far between), but the swimming was fabulous.

Here's hoping next summer is better!
