October at Dewart
Lake is extremely quiet.
There is very little water activity. There are a few die-hard fishermen that
like to fish, and I have seen a few birds, squirrels and crazy looking frog.
However, for the most part the weekend visitors have packed
it in. The neighbor to our left actually has his windows are plastic over so I
doubt they will return.
With a busy crazy summer, I did not get to the cottage as
much as I desired and the when I did get here, many of the days were less than
desirable. In August it went to extremes of needed all the windows open and the
fans on to needing the propane heater turned on, I expected that this October
weekend, however, not in August and September.
This maybe my last weekend at the summer cottage for 2014,
unless I sneak away one more time before winterizing it. The winters in Indiana can be rough and
winter of 2013-14 was down right brutal making visits nearly impossible. In
addition, many of the neighbors have called it a season and it is very quiet
and almost lonely here.
This weekend, I have talked to no one, from my living room window
I did see an elderly couple that live here year round, they were walking
lakefront just checking things out.
It is a breezy and chilly 55 degree day but the sun is warm
therefore I have tried to enjoy as much as I can. I am a sunshine girl and
really not looking forward to winter.
From Dewart
Lake, In Northern Indiana, I bid you farewell.
