SUMMER IS OVER










Fall is now upon us. The temperatures are cooling, the days are getting shorter and summer has now become just a memory. Where did the time go? We often look back at the summer videos we post on our Facebook pages to rekindle the stories, the people and the great times we had this summer. And what a beautiful summer it was.
Annie, our little border terrier is now 11 months old and she had many neat experiences. She had her first kayak ride in the spring, then in August she made it across to Haystack Island on the stand on kayak. She had only one slip into the drink but thankfully her customed designed life jacket kept her floating high in the water.
The weekly puppy training classes were another event that also got Annie really excited. They were a big hit for both her and our guests.
The other dog we had at the resort never had a name, though it should have. Her, or she, was rescued in June while floating down the lake alone after storm had sent her adrift. Nobody came by to claim her so she just hung around and did her thing with the kids....and a few adults too!

The lake warmed up to about 78F/24C this summer but it has now now dropped down to under 60F/15C. Still swim-able for some, but a little on the cold side for most. The fall months are a wonderful time to hop into a canoe or kayak and paddle though the calm waters and morning mists. With few people around it can be so peaceful and serene. Some of the maples found along the shoreline are starting to turn bright red. It won't be long before every tree is ablaze in colour.

Fall is here. We hope you can visit us.
