The Big Lake

As we are getting ready to leave Lake Medora for Louisville, I have been going through this year's pictures for labelling and organizing.  I am reminded of how lucky we are to live so near the "Big Lake,"--i.e., Lake Superior.  It is a Superior lake in so many ways: size, depth, beauty.  And it embodies so many different kinds of weather.  Here are some images from various points in last summer and fall.

Idylically pretty.  

Stormy like the ocean

Misty and mysterious

Rocky in so many interesting ways.

I am going to miss it.

It's Getting Cold!

We are now spending our first ever November day at Lake Medora. (We will leave a couple of days before Thanksgiving.)  The weather has been getting colder.  And though our house has central heat, it's not really built for winter.  (Two story high ceilings, lots of glass windows and doors.)

We like to sleep in a cold room with lots of covers.  Over the past couple of weeks we have slowly been building our layers.  Not too much left unless we start heaping on our clothes!

This is how we started:

We gradually added an afghan

Then another blanket

Another quilt

And then a tartan blanket.  This is where we are now.
