First of all, sorry about the major lack of photos in all of my posts. I haven't taken many pictures recently, and as a result my blog has been extremely word heavy. Hopefully this will remedy that!
Well, the weather has been lovely, steadily heading into those mid-fall temperatures. Leaves have been changing, running on the mountain has been incredible, and last weekend we had a chance to get out of the city and go to our place in Ontario for the long holiday weekend.
There was no turkey involved, but the cooking was pretty great nonetheless. I'd say the only hitch was the night we headed out of town when a) we got stuck in long-weekend Friday afternoon traffic, and b) once we arrived at the lake at 11pm, we couldn't get the boat to start and were stuck outside, drenched in the pouring rain. We had to call in a favour from a friend in the village. Oof. Not off to a great start. However, the rest of the weekend was great. Little bit of rain cooled everything off, perfect for cozying up by the fire.
B did some composing, I did some practicing, Christian (a friend from Oberlin who also lives in Montreal now) did some recording, and everyone had a nice time hiking. I'd never been to the cottage at this early fall time, and it was a sight to behold. The colors were on full display, the lake was empty, and it was still navigable by boat.
I was sad to leave on Monday morning, but I was happy to have the weekend away! As much as I love living in the city, sometimes you just want to get away. It could also simply be the siren song of my favourite place in the world being just a few hours away, calling to me. Either way, it was just what we all needed.
