By sitting in the lodge, you would not know that all our cabins are full because that quiet time of the summer has started. Kids are back in school and this is the time for adults to get away to cabins and go on canoe trips.
I noticed that the fall colors are just starting on the Gunflint Trail near Grand Marais. Now every time we drive to Grand Marais we will see the colors move a little more up the trail coming towards us. It is right on schedule for peaking the third week of September. The bunch berries which start off in spring with small white flowers now have red berries and Moose have been spotted on the roads again.
It was in the 40's last night and about 65 degrees today. Half our guests came in to check the weather report and loved the cooler weather and the other half bemoaned the chilly air. I built a nice roaring fire in the fireplace and put on my favorite red clearwater sweatshirt and enjoyed every minute of the brisk morning. This is the time of the year that I am finally able to take a few minutes in the morning and use our fantastic lodge porch and drink my coffee while watching the lake. How I love these days.
