We opened the house at the lake in the Adirondacks this weekend.
A neighbor's tiny yellow cottage had just enough room for a few more occupants...
The mama robin was busy all weekend trying to keep up with her hungry babies...
The blue and violet lupines were blooming...
The ferns were growing up amidst the twig chairs...
...and our lake welcomed us back for yet another summer season...
How lucky are we?
I hope that you had a wonderful weekend too.
:)

I just love the Adirondacks! My father is from there and I have a lot of fond childhood memories while visiting. Thank you for sharing yours. Have a wonderful week!
Oh, so lovely! I hope you have a wonderful time there!
Oh, wonderful, sounds like a slice of heaven!
Love the photos~
Now that is just pure fabulous!
How beautiful!!

I would have spent hours watching Mama robin tend to her young.
A little slice of heaven! Thank you for sharing such beauty - courtesy of mother nature.
This looks incredibly beautiful, Laura~ thanks for sharing it with us! I just love the little bird nest...
Doesn't that robin has a marvellous taste? We had at least as much water over here last weekend, but here it was pouring out of the sky. It didn't prevent us from visiting "Dordt in stoom" (=my hometown in steam), taking a ride in a steamtream, sailing (?) on a steamboat, riding an antique bus and having lots of fun.
Beautiful, Laura.
Such a lovely retreat for you and your family. It must be great to have such a place to get away to from the rat-race and all of life's demands.
I wish you many happy summer weekends there this year. XXXX
Tu sais que j'aime cette région Laura.
Moi j'ai ouvert la petite maison en Provence,nous avons beaucoup de chance.
Je te souhaite un bel été ma chère amie.

Ohhhhhhhh you lucky girl :)
just lovely there, perfect for summer.
I can just see myself swimming in your lake or taking a small boat out on it. I hope you have another nice summer there, enjoy it for all of us. What sweet little Robins making their nest near you also :)
Oh please show us more, it looks like such a wonderful spot.
What beautiful photos, I felt so relaxed just looking at them, almost as good as being there but not quite...lol....Enjoy your time there, it seems like a really special place.
We love the Adirondacks! We stay at High Peaks Resort in downtown Lake Placid in the fall - because...in May and June it's black fly season and I'm horribly allergic to them! How do you keep them away from you? If you're a "regular" up there, are there "tricks of the trade" to keep those nasties from biting?
Your retreat looks totally idyllic! There is something so calming about forests and lakes...
Enjoy!

What a fabulous place! Enjoy!

We opened our cabin too! Wasn't it just a beautiful weekend to be at the lake? Also to do a little antiquing too!

Your blogspot is beautiful in it's entirety.
Almost can smell the flowers, fresh air and woodsy aromas.
Envious.........another piece of heaven.
What a wonderful place to be, Laura. That lake is really beautiful.
Great photos!
I threw some lupine seeds out in the garden but they don't seem to be coming up and I think the birds may have feasted on them before they had a chance to germinate...sheesh!
I am loving the Ferns!! I have to get some!!! Love your Blog!! Best, Connie
Laura...thank you for visiting and it is so nice to meet you =))
Ahhhh, the Adirondicks. I would love to visit there, and haven't ~ yet! But, maybe next year...as I too will be leaving the world of "county government". God willing.....
We RV, and plan on hitting the road. I hope to add teaching into the mix =) And, btw...Deryn Mentock designed a necklace using an old coin purse. It is fun to rivet a piece of metal onto the leather part and .....
well, that would be a tutorial too!
Love your pictures BTW. They are gorgeous =)))
Oh Laura what a WONDERFUL place to get away from it all. It looks so peaceful. Enjoy your time there when you can! Take care...Maura :)
OH my, that was such a beautiful post! We have Robins nesting on our house as well! You are very lucky to have such beauty surround you!
Love the robin nest......what a great getaway you have!
Hi Laura,
I would say very lucky. It's magical there, like a fairytale.
The nest is amazing too!!
Have a great week,

This is only scenes I read about in books...That little yellow cottage... just dreamy~ You are lucky and I would say blessed also, since you realize you are lucky! Enjoy your time! Lezlee
How lucky you are! Living my dream, that is! If I could, I'd have a cabin on a lake just like this. I love being in the outdoors, paddling on a lake, reading a great book in my lawn chair. MMMMM
Dreamin' on!
Sherry
What gorgeous photos!
so lucky.
You are very lucky. Enjoy every moment and count your blessings! I love lupines, their foilage is so tropical looking, which is a bonus after the flower fades! Have you ever read the story, "Miss Rumphius" by Barbara Clooney? It's a great lupine story I recommend for young and old, even though it is a childrens book. Cindy
What a lovely spot! Your photos are very beautiful.
Best wishes
Iris
THANKS FOR THE NICE PICTURE,I LOVE IT SO MUCH.
