The Cottage in Winter

We usually make a winter trip to the lake but it’s been a while due to all the medical activity and who know what other reasons. But, there was a warm spell of above -10° so we made the trip from a Thursday to Saturday. We enjoyed some very quiet lake time, some fog and lots of sunshine and light to no wind. Very pleasant winter conditions.

It’s getting harder as I get older and the heart and lung issues don’t help. Trudging through the snow, even with snowshoes was hard. Multiple trips from the road to the cottage up and down the driveway were taxing much more than they used to be. And then there is the chopping a hole in the 2′ thick ice and hauling water up 70 vertical feet. But, all in all still an enjoyable time. Just more effort than ever before. Something new in this stage of life.

An improved video might be coming soon. Between the iPhone and the iPad and “magic movie” this didn’t turn out as the director planned. However, for the time being enjoy a look at our lake adventure.

After we left Scott, Mandy, Clark and perhaps Easton (?) arrived for some fun in the snow.

New and improve(?) video.
