Snapshots from the Lake Cottage


We had a lovely day today at the lake cottage,
where my dad spent his childhood summers.

I post a few shapshots and send warm greetings ... 
While enjoying the lake view I was thinking about  Amanda and Judy, 
since you have a special relation to Finland!


















Mustard from Turku
























Around 50 perches - we'll be eating kalakukko soon!


Sending sunny greetings
&
wishing you a great week -

A walm welcome to my new blog friends
Sannon, Tamara, Chatter Blossom, Enjoying the Epiphemy,
Wendy, Lisa & Sophie!

    I love the cabin photos, Nina! They resemble northern Minnesota so much, and remind me of leisurely outdoor times just around the corner for us.

      I enjoy especially the pine trees and the forest floor - a special feeling and scent of pine - lovely! I wish i could experience the nature in Minnesota one day!

    Hi Nina! I was visiting Debbie at Our Old Homestead when I came across your lovely blog. Your pictures are breath-taking and I feel like I could reach out and touch the things in your images :)

    I am now following you and I eagerly look forward to visiting again.

    Hugs to you,
    Stephanie

      Thank you for leaving such a sweet note here, Stephanie! I popped by your blog and was greatly inspired by the pin cushion jar - a great idea to have it all at hand (I know what's my next DIY project now :)

      Rowing is so relaxing - the rhythmic sound of oars is a part of summer memories :)

      The area is quiet, not many cottages around, rowing to the island makes you feel like traveling to an oasis of peace, almost like being one with the surrounding nature.
