Cottage life is starting to feel more normal. The summer cycle of growing things and life on the water is continuing as usual.

Cottage life at our summer vacation home on a tiny island in Manitoba Canada. This is about some of our activities,~ fun, food, boating, family, nature, photography, quotes, decorating and repairs.

Inside the cottage - June 2025
It was well into June before we could were able to clean up and arrange the inside of the cottage for the summer.
The smoke from the wildfire had left a thin layer of ash on every surface. The smell and grime seemed to penetrate all the fabrics as well as surfaces.

Merlin Meets the Lake
June 14, 2025. First Trip to the Cottage this Season
Our first trip out this year was about seeing for ourselves that the cottage was okay despite all our fear after the fire
In reality, it was all about showing the puppy his new Lake Home and all the firsts that go with it.
First look at a lake, first time on a boat, first life jacket, first dock, first screened patio nap.
It was exciting!
