The Begining of Fall at Redstone Lake

I had a couple of days off and went up to the cottage.  At the landing where we keep our boat we were unloading the van when I cut my thumb on a razor snips (or the package it came in). I screamed, threw everything down and had to tend to the 3/4 inch slice on the pad of my thumb. In the meantime Lincoln came up and hid in the van, maybe hiding from the razor snips that will bite for no reason.

It was cool at night, enough for a small fire just to keep warm. A very restful night and in the morning I woke up to a cacophony of sound. It surrounded the cabin and kept growing louder. Now fully awake I opened the door and saw a murder of crows. Crows everywhere, they filled the trees, chatting about crow stuff, flying in swarms. I have never seen so many crows at the cottage.

The porch roof still leaks so once again we were up there patching away. Dad brought out an old bike that he rode around the yard with Lincoln biting the wheels then just running beside him.  Poor puppy, he is sore and limping when he gets up.

The Halloween Season Begins

Prestigious Redstone Lake

It was around dusk and from the path I could see what looked like a glowing tree. I hurried into the cottage, got my camera and called my Dad to go see this wondrous sight. While everywhere was getter darker there were a couple of trees that the last bit of sunlight was striking.

From underneath the tree the changing colour of the leaves were lit up by the last ray of sunshine making them appear to be glowing. They had their own light amongst the dark pines and truly seemed to be glowing from within. 

Last of the Bathroom Renovations

I'll I have to do is a bit of touch up paint then the bathroom is done. The floor is redone. The big mistake that I made was to pick out the floor tile on the cheap and before the look was finished. It just didn't go with the room. It was a little off. It really started to bug me. I bought a bunch of loose tiles to bring to the house so I could see which would be right for the bathroom. Some of them were close but I didn't love them. Then we went to Lowes and right away found an abundance of nice tiles. The tiles are great. They were easy to install, have a simple pattern and the colour matches the paint and the vanity. We installed them the next day and I love the look. My Dad & I stained the baseboards to match the vanity. I did take down those weird green scarf curtains. I could never keep them even and they kept slipping, I was forever fixing them. The white curtains look much better. Finally, I am happy with the bathroom.
