When you first get to the cottage, you drive in from the back off the gravel road. In the summer time, this entire area is full of cars. We had 35 people on Saturday, the 29th, so there were many more cars than this.
But here's the front of the cottage, taken from the lake. That screened porch in the summer time is fitted with glass windows in the fall, so that we can still sit out there when it's cold and see what's going on. Talk about therapeutic.
In the previous photo you can see the deck to the left of the cottage. Here it is up close, with the kids' colorful chairs stacked up for the winter.
To the left of that deck is state property that can never be built on, so we have such a lovely view through the woods to the lake below.
On the winding steps down to the lake, autumn has taken its fancy, playing with the snow.
And there she is! The frozen lake.
A long winter's nap for our two friends...
...and the memory of days gone by when sitting on the "beach" has new meaning! This was a gift from my older sister and her husband since the last time I was there. So this is beckoning me for the summer to come.
In the meantime, I will hold the treasure of this snow in my heart. I don't get to see it often enough so when I do, I have to store it up!
Will you get your fill of snow this winter? I hope so.
