The little lake where 20 of us converged for the weekend.
There were several teenagers,
There was a calm lake
A walk in the woods (we got lost trying to find an elusive maple sugar shack. For 11 years my sister-in-law has never made it to the sugar shack. We didn't either)
A small waterfall
A wild game of crochet golf carved out of the woods.
A sweet little cabin on the crochet course was a library, complete with book lined walls, an old couch and carpet and little bunks at the back, apparently once part of a girl's camp.
There were tell-tale names for all the holes on the course, the 16th was a challenging par 5!
The owners of the three cottage where we stayed made all sorts of little vignettes around the property, which one could find popping up in unexpected places.
These log angels were scattered about the paths, each representing her grandchildren.
It has been a slow and subtle year for colour changes in the autumn leaves and now, two weeks after these photos were taken, there is not a noticeable difference in colour.
There is a marked difference in climate however. I wouldn't be caught outside with bare toes today.

The weather is pleasant and fine so this is a time for a family weekend.This is a time for sharing joy and pleasure and get rid of all fake worries and seek true happiness.

How lovely! I want to see that cabin... book-lined walls and bunks, sounds adorable. And I can't believe that you're not seeing much change in color yet. In many ways, I feel like we are past peak here. Hmmm.
Sweet photos, once again! :-)

Help me remember what part of the country you live it. Those photos could have been taken right outside my house in n.w. Wisconsin. Beautiful!
