| Swimming on Lake Belle Taine |
The air is cooling off, kids are going back to school,
leaves are changing colors. All signs
that the long, slow days of summer are giving way to the brisk mornings of
fall. No need to be sad. There are plenty of wonderful activities to
do in the fall. You can take a leisurely
walk in the woods and enjoy the crunching sound of leaves beneath your feet, breath
in the earthy smell in the air and feel the cool nip of the air all without
swatting away the pesky mosquitoes and deer flies that are ever present in the
summer. Or, you can stop by an apple
orchard and pick some crisp apples to munch on or bake into fabulous pies.
One of my favorite things to do this time of year is to
think back over everything we did in the last few months. My husband and I do not currently own a lake
home, and while we do plan on having on in the future, right now, we are
enjoying the generality of our friends and loving it. This way, it becomes more of a social event
for everyone. Instead of focusing on the
little chores that need to be done, everyone pulls up a patio chair, a
refreshing beverage and enjoys the afternoon.
Instead of mowing the lawn or weeding the flower bed, everyone hops on
the pontoon to go across the lake for some ice cream. As I think back, these are some of my
favorite memories of the summer. When we
didn’t have a grand plan, just wanted to hang out with some friends in a
beautiful location and let the day take us where it may. So for all of you lucky enough to have a piece
of paradise, invite people often, keep it casual and relax.
