Why We Love The Red Painted Cottage And Thank You

Lose yourself in nature and find peace.

I want to give a shoutout to everyone who wished us a happy anniversary on Monday.  Thank you for your very kind words.

Mr. Cottage and I love the Red Painted Cottage, that's no secret, or we never would have bought it.  We love the logs, the rustic feel, and the comfort we find when we're there.  But what we really love is the nature that surrounds us.  All the way from the lake so Mr. Cottage can fish, to all the sounds of  the bullfrogs, geese and Sandhill Cranes.

Many of you saw the Blue Heron I posted about earlier this summer...

He's still one of my favorites at the cottage, along with the Sandhill Cranes.  Mr. Cottage yelled at me again to bring the camera out and he asked me to look down in our garden...

We've got toads everywhere at the cottage...

And then there's the ones you can barely see because they blend into nature...

Did you see the toad above?

The edge of our lake has tons of bullfrogs, but it's unusual to see them up by our cottage.  Mr. Cottage was grilling and told me to grab my camera again...

God is awesome!  Look how so many of our creatures blend in or camouflage into their surroundings...

I just finished taking his photo and we heard the roar of an engine.  Yes, that's a seaplane...

We might get one or two a summer and it seemed like everything was happening this past weekend...

We ended the evening by taking a pontoon ride and I caught a few rays of the sun coming through the clouds...

Now you know why we love it at the Red Painted Cottage.
