The rain is pouring down in a fine mist. The sporadic wind gusts are sending soggy leaves and twigs onto the ground. The temperature is a cool, not conducive to swimming or any other water activities. I’ve hit a seasonal funk.

Normally summer’s biggest cheer-leader, I’m what you would call, under-the-weather. It’s our last week of summer holidays and it’s rained every day. I loaded my natty kids, muddy dog and dirty laundry into the Jeep last Sunday and headed back to Vancouver. Our 784 square foot cabin is not big enough to endure seven days of rain, or rather seven days of the kids fighting with on another.

While some folks are quick to write off the whole season as being too wet and too cold, I must admit I had an excellent time at the cabin. We were there for the 30 degree days. I boarded until my back was so sore I could hardly sit upright. We had lots of great guests who assemble patio furniture, washed windows and cooked for us.

The super heroes attending last weekend’s year-end party were nothing short of spectacular. What our lake lacks in sunshine, we more than make up for it in enthusiasm and beer.

For those folks heading to their cabin or cottage for a last hurrah of the summer, I wish you no traffic, lots of sunshine, a calm lake and cold beer.

I’m rain soaked and dry docked here in Vancouver.

Cheers,

Julie
