We spent a fantastic long weekend at the lake house in Wisconsin. We had the best of both worlds-- the fall foliage was a perfect mix of gold and crimson, but the Indian summer temperatures spoiled us with warm breezes and sunny days. I enjoyed trading in the noise and commotion of the city for the sound of water lapping at the shore and squirrels scattering through the crunchy leaves. My mom and I spent a perfect afternoon visiting several artist studios as a part of a fall art tour, including a stop at a mini art fair that had a gourmet s'mores table-- and all the participating artists were wearing t-shirts labeling themselves "S'morons!" We had a seafood dinner at the local lodge, and spent an evening in peals of laughter at the neighbor's animated stories of the Northwoods over homemade concord grape wine.
It was pretty much the perfect fall weekend.
Caitlin, this sounds (and looks) so great! I'm headed to some more Eastern parts next week and can't wait to experience a little bit of NE autumn. We spent our long weekend in a remote location, too. AND I also have horse photos to share later this week! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAh, it sounds like you had a fantastic time, and the photographs are beautiful. I am dying for a quick little Fall getaway, but probably not in the cards this year. I'll just have to live vicariously till next year! Glad you had a great time!

That sounds so restorative and lovely! I hope you gave out some pats to horses too, that always does my heart good :)
