Notes From the Lake: Settling In

Ah, life at the lake . . . the call of the loons . . . the smell of the grass, the feel of the breeze . . . and of wet dog fur!

We’ve been here for a few weeks now, and have been keeping busy cleaning out the cottage unpacking our mini-load brought with us by cart last summer (remember, most of our belongings are in storage), and finding a new doctor for the dogs.

While we’ve seen plenty of moose, none have shown up in our yard toward the waterfront, which is where we usually see them. (David’s Mom was napping on the bench swing last fall and awoke to the sound of grass being chewed . . . and a moose staring her right in the eyes from less than two feet away!) We’ve also had beaver, muskrat, Canadian geese, mallard ducks and loads of jumping fish . . . all right outside the door.

This post will be brief due to all of the projects and catching up we have on our plates. However, we are both hoping to have more time to write about our reflections on the water, post trip.
