Towards the end of our cottage summer

If you can imagine fire and water mixed, stirred slowly by a large wooden spoon, blending the two for a visual sensation evolving before your vary eyes. Welcome to the cottage.
Time well spent on the deck of the island. All present and accounted for to watch another spectacular Canadian sunset. Kind of routine to see such beauty, only, it is never routine nor taken for granted. Here we are, bundled up for the cool of the evening and its accompanying evening dew. 


On  Sunday, we had our first annual End of the Cottage Season Party. Cottage "voyageurs" came from Purgatory Harbor to celebrate. People from up the road a bit of Devil's Glen and Little Pike Bay road.

Their return home was also by canoe, only this time, the ladies decided to walk, so the two "hubbies" paddled back at sunset, on a calm and mirror lake, towing their phantom passengers.  The next morning, the two paddlers: Bill Lutowski and Peter Thruguris came over to show us where they have found the "Lincoln" wreck on their paddling voyages as I have been unable to locate the wreck recently. It appears to have moved. I will look some more, anon, next year.

Bob and I enjoy the morning sunshine on our lower deck in front of the cottage. We were making big plans!

Bounty is back on her trailer, in the boat house, all traveling accoutrement's removed and stored.
