09/21/17 The sun did it’s beautiful thing again this morning with no clouds to obstruct our view. We leave for home today and I’m sad to say good-bye, although I’m so grateful for the time we had up here in this amazing place. I’m praising God for this incredible beauty.
Our adventures this year included hikes up Oberg Mountain (two times), Britton Peak, Shovel Point, Temperance River (several times, different areas), bike rides on the Gitchi-Gami trail, drives along Hwy 61 and inland roads, eating delicious meals right at the cabin overlooking the lake. We took time to read, reflect and just plain “sit around and watch the lake”. We pieced together a jigsaw puzzle, enjoyed campfires on the rocks… explored new places.
It was wonderful to be with our son, his wife and our five-month-old granddaughter.
There were many seagulls in the air and on the rocks, an eagle that flew by several times, hummingbirds at the cabin feeder and a few ducks floating along.
We saw a lot of fall color on the inland trees this year, and we had several varied weather patterns: wind and rain and rough seas, and some gorgeous, clear, autumn blue skies…all makes for a wonderful week on the north shore of Lake Superior.
We’re going home relaxed, renewed, rejuvenated and rejoicing.
Sigh…it’s so hard to leave, but my heart is full.
Thank you! What beautiful pictures and description of your adventures. Cindy
What a great week… great pictures!
Thanks – it was special.
To replenish the soul is a beautiful thing. To pass on that joy to others is a truly blessed gift. Your peace and comfort from this week of replenishment can be shared with others and multiplied tenfold. Just enjoying your blog is a joy passed on. Thank you, Valerie!
Thank you, Sheri. It is a joy to share this special place.
