I love taking vacation in late August
as there are still plenty of warm days and cooler nights
Friday morning we packed up ~ picked up Mom
and headed to the cottage
she has had some health issues over the summer
and could not get down for more than a day trip
so she was tickled pink to be able to come down and just get out of the house
for an entire weekend
Saturday we woke up to warm weather ~ blue skies
it was a beautiful day
I can't believe I got this shot
this is my little dragonfly that I call Dad
for the last few years whenever we are at the cottage
there is always one dragonfly nearby
when we are doing any kind of work or just sitting around doing nothing
it is around
I believe that it is my Daddy keeping an eye on things
and loving it when we come down to spend some time
this little guy was growing up through the gravel on the old road
isn't nature awesome!
Mom and I sat outside and played rummy for most of the afternoon
then I kicked back and read a bit ~ it was heaven

| teal toes for September! |
that night the tide came in ~ it was like glass
we enjoyed some fireworks compliments of our neighbours down the road
and then a little bonfire back at our place
Sunday brunch was prepared in my ebelskiver pan
impressed my Mama I did and they were yummy
this is little's perch ~ she thinks she is part cat
and pretty smart as she can see out to the yard and into the woods
we packed up and headed home Sunday afternoon
as I wanted a full day at home before returning to work today
it was a great end to vacation!
There is still a couple weeks of summer left so I am not ready
to put away those flip flops yet ~ but I am also looking forward to getting creative
spending some times indoors
and putting the oven on again!
Are you ready to say goodbye to summer?
