The autumn sky takes on a different look from summer as the sun moves further south.
Along with the sunsets the lake levels have been changing in the Great Lakes. I have never seen it this low that I can remember. Some people have said that it is as a result of the dredging in the St. Clair River necessitated by the freighters needing more depth. It may be difficult to launch Sweet Boat or my windsurfer next summer if the levels don't change. The Captain of Free Spirit is pleased that our trailer sailing Seaward 24 has a draft of two feet with her centerboard up. We may be the only boat that can float in many places previously travelled by boats with deeper drafts.
Despite the low water levels the waves still break when the wind is blowing in Bayfield. The pier becomes a launch ramp for crazy surfers who jump off the end and search for that perfect wave. This of course is in late fall when the wind blows the strongest. And you thought we were crazy?!?!
The cottage fall projects after winterizing and putting everything away....Rob building our cedar bathroom sink surround and me building a driftwood Christmas tree.
We celebrated mom's birthday with her friend Jean at Huronview. It just happens to be Halloween too!
After Halloween follows November and soon time to deck the halls. This year a fresh wreath welcomes friends to our home. My friend Gayle taught me the fine art of wreath making.
A sure sign that Christmas is just around the corner is the blooming of this Christmas cactus.
My condo neighbor and friend Jane showed me how to make this beautiful centerpiece. I am turning into a real "Martha"!?
