Wash Day

Another scheduled post while still on summer hours. I'll be back to visit and reply to comments when cottage season winds down. In the meantime, I so appreciate all of your visits and kind comments.

Up at the cottage, late in the day, laundry hangs drying on the line. The setting sun paints the sheets with country golden warmth. They'll smell so wonderful at bedtime.

This loon also took advantage of wash day, splashing around in the tepid waters of the lake and turning its feathers to the sun.

Back soon with another scheduled post.

Black-eyed Susan and Posts of the Week

The brilliant days of summer are winding down but we still have at least one, and hopefully more cottage visits in our near future. These Black-eyed Susan were in full bloom a couple of weeks back. They scream late summer, don't they? Sigh!

Posting will still be erratic and light but I'll be doing the POTW when I can. This happened to be one of the weeks which worked out for me so without further delay, here are the Posts of the Week

The icon/award to the left here is yours for the taking if your blog post has been named as a Post of the Week - either as top post or as a runner up, today or in past weeks.

This week's top Post of the Week is:
