Waking Up in Muskoka

Before camping in Buckhorn, Kevin needed to take a trip to his family’s cottage in Muskoka to fix a water pump. I had been on the road for almost a week at that point, so I had no camping gear besides a pillow and a sleeping bag. Kevin’s cottage was well equipped with several tents and air mattresses, so I came along with the hopes of finding some items for the weekend camping trip.

We got into the cottage at one in the morning, and all I could see from the porch was the milky way in the sky. I was ecstatic to see the stars so brilliantly and Kevin told me, “just wait until you look outside in the morning.” After several days of sleeping on couches, I was happy to chose from one of the many beds in the cottage. I picked a dainty room with typical cottage wood paneling. These types of cottages always remind me of the summers of my childhood spent in a cottage home in Point-Calumet, Quebec.

 
Kevin was right though, the view in the morning was amazing. 
 
 
The lake looked glorious during the crisp and cool morning. There were several cottages built all along the lake, and there was already a boat in the water pulling a water skier. My childhood cottage experiences were no where near this luxurious, so I took full advantage. Kevin got started on the water pump while I relaxed on the dock in my pjs with some tea.

Kevin, of course, was hard at work fixing the pump all day. I helped him when I could, but mostly took the time to collect camping gear and take pictures. Before we left in the late afternoon, Kevin made sure we took a trip into Gravenhurst to The Bakery, where they had some of the best homemade donuts I’ve ever seen.
 
 
Delicious!

    Does managing a well-established blog like yours take a massive amount work?
    I’m brand new to running a blog but I do write in my diary every day.
    I’d like to start a blog so I can easily share my experience and
    thoughts online. Please let me know if you have any kind of ideas or tips for
    brand new aspiring bloggers. Thankyou!

  6. What you posted was actually very reasonable.
    However, consider this, what if you added a little information? I am not saying
    your information isn’t solid., however suppose you
    added a post title to maybe grab folk’s attention? I
    mean Waking Up in Muskoka – Nature is Love is a little vanilla.

    You ought to look at Yahoo’s front page and see how they write news titles to
    grab people interested. You might try adding a video or a picture or two to get readers excited about what you’ve written. In my opinion,
    it might bring your blog a little bit more interesting.

  7. I’ve been surfing online more than three hours today,
