Y'all know how much I love to decorate for my two favorite seasons of the year, fall and Christmas. Sure enough, I took my pumpkin decorating on the road to the lake house this weekend where I put out touches of fall since we've crossed over into September.
I didn't go wild with the pumpkins like I typically do at the "big house" here in town.
But I could have. I figured the trunk load of decor I imported up to the lake was plenty. My goal is to be able to store all of my seasonal decor in just six plastic bins that will be placed on the master closet shelves. Now I'm already starting to plot Santas for Christmas, so we'll see if I can resist temptation and stick to my master plan.
Oh sure, the weather was hot even though we're staring down autumn. We did get to watch a thunderstorm roll in Saturday evening, cooking our burgers before the rain hit. I don't know what it is about the lake that we always find so relaxing since it's another house requiring our time to maintain. The honeymoon phase of second home ownership, maybe? Who knows. For now, I'm just enjoying every moment we get to spend up there, even if it requires mopping the floors, running the washing machine and swabbing down the boat.
