9/19/26

​we slept in this morning. The camper was 57 degrees. Yikes. We were luckily draped in blankets and were toasty warm sleeping. It was overcast this morning but the day perked up as the time passed. 

We decided it may be a little chilly taking out the jet ski’s so we road on the neighbor’s boat over to Walmart beach. The sun graced us with its presence on a pristine lake.

The ride was a little chilly but I brought a blanket. We had a meeting of the shoreline, kinda like a last hoorah for the summer. Next weekend we are having a lobster bake shoreline party. Next weekend will be my last weekend up for 2026. 

Why is summer so short?

We spent a few hours at the beach. We had good chats with the neighbors and shared some laughs. 

When we got back I took the dogs for a decent walk. I came across a monarch. We befriended each other. Such a gift for me as I always admire their beautiful colors and markings. I moved it to a tree so it could be safe as I continued my walk.

We continued enjoying the day after dinner with a fire. We had a close fire circle. 

Moe and Jiminy were staying toasty warm by the fire. I warmed a blanket up to wrap Moe in. He thought that was a fabulous idea. He napped by the fire all evening.

Over the next two weekends, we will  put camp to bed and prepare to close down for the season. So sad. We have really enjoyed our time this year. The peace and quiet, the company from our cute little lake community. We enjoyed watching all the shoreline dogs playing with sticks, swimming and just having zest for lake life. We have enjoyed our quiet shoreline cat patrolling the docks.

This day was a gift to us. A beautiful calm day.  I am glad we took advantage of it.

As I walked from the fire to the camper this evening, the stars danced and twinkled down on us. The moon cast it’s glowing net over us.
