We arrived back to the cottage yesterday afternoon, grateful for good driving weather, both on the road and on the water, following that crazy big storm Sunday night. I'm not sure, but I think Kitchener-Waterloo got the brunt of it.
This morning is overcast but not too cool and perfectly calm. Even on the open water, which is a rare treat when it happens. I did not see any other human being, and only heard two boat motors but way off in the distance. I did encounter some forest friends, however, and one graciously posed for a picture.
The summer of 2025 will certainly be remembered as the year of the deer. So many visits this season.
The deep quiet and changing colours puts me back to last fall when we were 'homeless in KW' but tucked in all safe and warm here. And when I think of all the stress of our big move last year, which I still do often enough to tell me I still have some uncoiling to do, I am again utterly grateful that we had such a place of serenity in which to wait it out.
This is our last little bit here for the season. Closing up and on our way by Friday. So you can be I will be greedily taking in as much as I can before heading back into all the things waiting for me back in the city. They are good things, don't get me wrong. And even last week, with it's focus on the Garage Sale which always is demanding, physically and otherwise, was vibrant and connective and so very encouraging!
But for right now, I'm just going to be here, paddling around the island, taking pictures of the deer, and maybe even a dragonfly, just because.
