A weekend at the "cottage" can be restful and relaxing..a time to un-wind and listen to the wind blow. Where else can you find the time to read a novel uninterupted in just two days? The country is beautiful this time of year. The pond is down, but that makes it easier to get around it. I saw evidence of beavers at a couple of ponds, but I'm no expert in telling whether it's recent..it doesn't look like it.
Did see a fisher or martin, having never seen one before I was a little stunned and had to look it up when I got home. It was smaller than a bear, bigger than a weasle, longer tail than a bob cat, and too fast for a beaver or racoon. Any other guesses?? Also saw lots of deer tracks, and one bear poop- no awards there I guess.
These rose hips are HUGE! I didn't see the roses in the spring when we were there, they must have been impressive through the summer.
Stopped at Basswood hill and paid my respects, it's a special moment.
Tried a couple of directions to find a path towards the lake, but I honestly have no idea where I'm going...two hours into my walk it occurs to me,"no map, phone, gps, no gun, knife..is this smart?" I promptly turned around and headed back to the cabin.
It'll be nice to get back again soon, maybe a winter trip?
