End of Summer at the Cabin
What does the end of summer mean to you? After Labor Day, it often seems as if winter is just around the corner. For me Labor Day marks the formal end of summer. As I’ve gotten older, it seems that summer goes by, more and more quickly. I am once again sad to see it go. Then the summer also means waking up to cool temperatures, morning fog, and mist rising off this surface of the lake.
For my husband, Chuck, this is just the beginning of his favorite season, fall. I think he would be happy to sit in the woods and just watch the trees turn color and the leaves fall off.
Does the end of summer mean it’s time for you to close up your cabin? Since we are off the grid, there isn’t a lot we need to do to get ready for winter. We tend to continue to use our cabin in northern Minnesota until we have too much snow fall and are no longer able to easily get into the cabin. There is 3 miles of rough walking road to get into our cabin. So, once any amount of snow accumulates we need to use snowmobiles to get in, which results in multiple trips to get our stuff food and pets into the cabin.
What does the end of summer mean to you? Does the end of summer affect how often you go to the cabin? What else changes about cabin life for you in the fall and winter?
