Cottage Days

I have not fallen off the face of the earth...just lots of "stuff" going on.  I thought I'd share a few pics of the trio hanging around.  It has been so oppressive outside that we prefer being in the A/C but when we do venture out...here is a few pics of today.  

Juliet wants nothing to do with the camera and spends ALL of her time searching for toads and chippies!

Romey was sunning himself...for a brief moment!

Chloe just wants "IN"!!

Fourth of July Recap!

It was a rather quiet Fourth of July celebration for us this year...Just Ben and I and the pups.  Thought you might like to see a few photos of our night!

Seeing Beautiful -- My Neighborhood Today

I see beauty every single day in my neighborhood...enjoy!

When It Snows...

We are fortunate this year in that we did not get the amounts of snow that we normally get!  There are many people complaining because they didn't get to ski as much as they would like.  I am SO ready for winter to be done and over with.  

I am ready to get out of here and in to a place with Palm Trees and Sunshine! 

Ben went to check on the cottage and found that things are looking good this year, so far.  Which is a very good thing.

These photos were taken a couple of years ago when we had to go shovel off the roof!

Sure am glad we don't have to do that very much!!

Our Visitor Review...

In case you were wondering...

We have had visitors!!

Here is a brief view of our week...

Mr. "Moose" is Spotted Again!

As you all know, we are preparing to leave the North Country, and earlier in the week, we were informed that there was a moose sighting just down the road.

Well...he has been on the move...so to speak!  We live on a road that leads directly to a causeway...then an island.  It just so happens that there is a KOA Campground on that island.  Apparently Mr. Moose has decided that he likes to wander...he has been spotted on the OTHER side of the island...just walking in the water!

I will definitely take precautions when taking the girls out late at night!!  I wouldn't want to run in to this guy!   YIKES!

 

I would like to thank my neighbor, Dave Lyman, for these pictures...he is a charter boat captain and was only about 200 feet away from the moose taking these pics!  

Are We In The Desert??

OK, I don't mean to complain, but c'mon!!!  I feel like I am in the middle of the desert!  As it happens, I am in Northern New York...you know...the one near the Adirondacks???  It is supposed to be COOL here.

It's not.  Not at all.  This picture was taken at 1:00AM!!

There was a strange haze over the water all day...you could literally see the humidity hanging over the water.

And last of all...I will show you my "Bug Lights"...they really light up my garden at night!

Just Good For The Soul

As most of you know...I just recently took delivery of my new scooter!  Today was the first day that I went out on my regular ride!

It is just soul soothing for me to ride along these wide open spaces...and ponder the meaning of life.

Or sometimes...just BREATHE.

It is so relaxing...no one to bother me...just me communing with nature.  It is hard to explain, but it really makes me feel relaxed!

As you can see, there is not a lot of activity!  Except for the occasional deer, mink, skunk, or turkey!

And Geese.  There are Geese...and swallows.  Sometimes bats!

This is one of my favorite spots!  I just love this little beach area!!

I didn't get to ride through these areas last year as I didn't have a functioning scooter...and I was so surprised to find out how much building has taken place in that short amount of time.

The water is very high around here.  I'm afraid if it doesn't stop raining, there will be NO corn!  It is very yellow...and that means it could start to rot.

It was kind of funny...I came around a corner and there...right smack in the middle of the road...was a SUPER-SIZED Bassett Hound!  This guy was about three times the size of Bentley of Barking from the Bayou.  I wasn't quite sure what to do so I just talked to him...said hello...and hit the gas!!  Fortunately, he wasn't going to get up too fast!! Ha!!

The girls were NOT happy with me when I got home as I had gone without them AGAIN.  If only I could figure out how to take them...perhaps a side car??  

So, they were very happy when I took them down to the dock to poke around and see what was up!

Hope you enjoyed "riding along" with me today.

It sure did my soul good!! 

Happy Thursday!!
