The cottage season is short in Nova Scotia. When the black flies disappear it is time to be comfortable at the cottage, usually in mid July. Tonight we will spent the night at the cottage, hoping the black flies have disappeared. The mosquitoes are generally not a problem due to the breeze, but sometimes in the evening when the wind has died down, sitting outside is difficult. This is really the first time this year that we felt comfortable staying at the cottage, and we are past mid July.
August and September are the best season of the year at the cottage. By then, the lake is warm and the bugs are gone but this year we must leave the last week of August so we will avail ourselves of the cottage while we are here.
We enjoy the cottage. It is remote and quiet and simple. One problem with the cottage is the lack of Internet which means no e mails and no blog. And our cell phones work best down by the dock. Ken putters while I read and look for loons. If we are lucky tonight, we will hear their song, that wonderful sound of the wild. It will be worth the visit.
