The Latest from the Lake

The seasons are a-changin' and so is the wildlife here. I haven't seen our swans in at least a week but these American Coots have been coming around every morning.

I've seen hundreds of them paddling around, having their breakfast about the same time I'm rolling out of bed. (Okay, so maybe it's more brunch than breakfast considering I'm not exactly up at the crack of dawn!) I don't remember seeing them last year so it will be interesting to see if they end up staying the winter here.

I'm hoping to get back into blogging after taking the summer off. I've been busy with a little stitching, a little crafting, and a lot of cooking! Fall tends to be my season for "rebirth" more than spring, so stay tuned for more from the lake!
