Wednesday Word: On being Anxious

Photo taken at Sylvan Lake in SD

Transition to Winter

This past weekend was spent at my family's cabin. It was time to take the dock out for the season. We pushed it back as far as we could this year, and as you will see below...we missed the snow by only one day. It seemed a fitting transition, to wake up the next morning to a snow covered world. There are few better places to be than at the cabin when it returns to winter. Days are filled with hot coffee, afternoon naps, boardgames, fresh apple doughnuts, and never getting out of your sweatpants. I am grateful for days like that. 

On a side note, one of the things I have missed most about blogging is the photography. It became normal for me to leave my camera at home these past few months. I'm not entirely sure why this became my habit. Laziness perhaps.... or too much time spent on the computer without adding in uploading photos. Well no matter the cause, I am happy to once again lug my camera around on a daily basis.

Independence Day (3 weeks later)

We were lucky enough to get to spend a long weekend and Independence Day with my family at our cabin. The weather was great (besides a storm that came through pre-fireworks). We rode out the storm in our cars and then reclaimed our yearly spot for watching the show. I had been meaning to post this photos a long time ago, but it slipped my mind until now. I love summer days spent at the lake.
