I think I've changed my mind. I think we might just head to the lake for a week to relax and play. The water most likely will still be too cold to be playing in, but there is plenty more we can enjoy.
We bought our lake house five years ago in the November after my father passed away in September. It was definitely an impulse purchase. One that we've kicked ourselves at making time after time. Whenever we aren't there.
When we are there, we wonder why in the world we would ever not want it.
The house is nestled into a cove down a long, winding driveway. When you enter the driveway, you really feel like you've escaped. From whatever you feel like you need to have escaped from or to wherever you were looking to escape to.
We love to do our schoolwork on the back deck and have a nature study as we explore around on the property. In the afternoons, a family of mallards visits out of habit and curiosity. I'm not sure who is more curious of the other.
The lake noises are calming and energizing at the same time. I am relaxed by the sound of the water washing up against the dock as boats rush down the lake. And I am tickled by distant laughter of people as they are skiing and playing on the water when it is warm. At night the rhythm of the frogs talking to one another soothes me to sleep.
Yes, I think we might just have to take a trip to the lake for spring break. The mallards have probably been missing us.
Do you have a special place you enjoy visiting? Are you headed there soon?
