You wouldn't think that our dry spell would have much of an effect near the lake, but we are seeing everywhere fall colors, even in the swamp. Many maples are a bright orange. Birches show.a yellowish orange. And the weather is so warm, more of a late August weekend.
The kids report that the water is cold. We'll find out with our sauna this evening. We need to remove a ladder from our float so that the ice won't eat it this winter.
Mike took the boat to the marina this afternoon. The propellor had a bad season, so we'll need a new one for the spring. We've learned that, as much as it seems like a good idea, putting the boat into the water at the boathouse isn't good. There are too many rocks to have us move safely out of the little cove under power. Next year, we'll launch it from the beach.
