This has to be one of my favourite photos I've ever taken of our lake. The colours of the trees, the wisps of clouds perfectly reflected in the mirror-like surface of the lake and the hovering mist drifting along silently.
We shall leave this here for all to enjoy.
Farewell, Lakehouse and thank you for all the memories.
And thusly, we have come to the end of our Lakehouse Hideaway story. Thank you for being here.

This is us, Jeff and Valerie, on the day we purchased our beloved Lakehouse. And today is the day that we bid it farewell and pass it into the most capable hands of the new owners.
Congratulations to Marc and Chantal who already love the Lakehouse as much as we do and are looking forward to creating their own memories and adventures in this little piece of wild paradise.
We want to thank all our family members, friends and treasured guests who have shared this amazing place with us over the past five years. Thank you for joining us this chapter of our lives.

Stand tall and carry a bit stick. But we forgot the stick!

Oh she glows at night and she's just so cute! Who doesn't love the Shenanigan Shack?

No animals on the furniture, we said. No dogs on the couch, we said. And we turn around and find this. What a little monster. Good thing she's cute!

Nature's simple chaos
Single strands of grasses
Waving in the breeze
Getting ready for their final bow
As the seasons change
All together and yet all individual
Each with their own rhythm
Just like us.

The flash of the sun's rays as it dips below the hills. The crisp fall evenings and the crunch of leaves underfoot. Soon the mist will roll in and the evening woodland sounds will start. Take a moment to just breath the sigh of relaxation at the end of another wonderful day at the lake.

We are just ending a fantastic mushroom season at the Lakehouse. Now, we have no idea which ones are safe to eat and which ones will make you sick (or even worse), and we wish we had taken far more photos than we did.
The woods were filled with a rainbow of fungi of all shapes and sizes. Some had small nibbles taken out of them and some were completely intact like this fella right here. And to give you an idea of just how big this one was, he stood an easy 10 cm tall and was almost as broad across his cap. Amazing!
Does anyone know anything about mushrooms? Can anyone identify what species this fella might be?
