The End of Summer

August has been a lovely month with lots of warm, sunny days. We spend the last weekend of summer at the lake enjoying 80 degree weather in September. Andrew came to visit on Saturday and talked us into a new adventure - paddling kayaks on the lake. Neither of us had ever tried it before. Here are a few pictures of our afternoon on the lake.
This is the culprit who dared us to do it!
Here are Gary and Louise out on the lake.
Louise, quite out of character!
The lessons on how to do it! We finished our trip to the lake with a real end-of-summer activity - ice cream!
The Quik Stop II in Ashland has not closed for the season! Here is a close-up of a baby cone!
I've never met a baby who could eat two full scoops.

As the weather changes, the activities of fall take over. We have harvested most of the garden, and have been covering the flowers as the first frost hit.
For Louise her thoughts turn to knitting sweaters. On Monday we crossed the border to buy some yarn.
This is the Briggs & Little Mill Store in Harvey Station, New Brunswick.
The yarn was selected, washed, dried, and rolled into balls. Time to start the Christmas knitting!
The yarn all ready to start a new sweater! As the days get shorter and cooler, the activity changes.
