Yesterday, I was sitting on our deck luxuriating in the last summer day and gazing out at the lake. I was marvelling at how absolutely beautiful our September has been. So far, no frost, no rain, and my flowers are as gorgeous as they were a month ago – unheard of! This weekend hubby and I plan to take the boat out as much as possible – for morning coffee, lunch, and sunset. The colours should be at their very best and if the lake stays as glassy as it has been all week – well, you can imagine how that could stir the soul of any photographer! a glorious weekend ahead – there is absolutely “a harmony in autumn, and a lustre in the sky”.

Your weekend sounds wonderful! I would love to have a boat (and close access to water!) Well, I should qualify…we have a pond and we have a boat. But we have to either paddle it or row it and our pond is currently covered in duck weed. :(
