Sailing School Anyone?




A recent mild autumn day I walked along the bike path which borders this lake.  The Sailing Center was open and all the supplies, boats, rudders, centerboards, etc. were being made ship shape for the winter.  This is a wonderful facility.  Children at an early age can have a full battery of sailing instruction here.  What could be better in our land of many lakes?  Thought you'd enjoy a few snap shots.

Autumn Beauty

It is autumn again and who can believe how fast September flew by?  Colors are becoming more colorful day by day.  Notice the blue heron perched on the boat to the left of the dock.  He fishes from that spot most mornings in the early sunshine.
The last bouquet of glads of the season came from my favorite roadside veggie stand.
Dutch apple pie and many other varieties of apple desserts are on the menu.  There is a bumper crop of apples this year.  Might be good to can some applesauce as well.
