Fall Color Weekend- Cabin- Part II

After leaving Duluth we headed up to the cabin we were staying in for the weekend.  I'm not sure what city it's technically in but it's out of the city of Duluth but not quite to Two Harbors.  We stayed at Dodge's Log Lodges in the Evergreen cabin right on Lake Superior.  We had been there one time before for one night but it was in the dead of winter for my 29th birthday.  The cabins took new ownership last year and they've made some nice improvements.

We hung inside the cabin on Friday night, made dinner, lit a fire in the fireplace and drank wine while listening to music.

We woke early on Saturday morning so we could see the sun rise.  There were some clouds in the sky but the horizon was clear except for the exact area the sun was rising from.  It was still beautiful to sit out on the deck and on the rocks on the shore and see the beautiful colors all the while it was definitely below 40 degrees.

Unfortunately, M's good friend's mom passed away last week and the funeral was on Saturday morning in Webster, Wisconsin.  M drove down to Webster to attend the funeral and then came back close to 3 pm.  While it wasn't a perfect situation for our weekend, it worked out just fine and allowed me to have some alone time at the cabin since I didn't have a car to go anywhere.  I cleaned, read, watched the news, basked in the sun, took a nap and just enjoyed the day.

On Saturday night, we had a fire outside on shore and spent over two hours out there talking and looking at the stars. It was chilly at 36 degrees but we bundled up and cuddled in a big comforter. Between the two of us we saw 10 shooting stars.  It has been so long since I had seen one but I saw 7 of them and every time it was so exciting and fascinating to me.  Some were bright and short and some were dim but had a long trail.  With the help of the Google Sky app on my phone, we located Jupiter which was shining so bright that it cast a reflection on the lake.  

We came inside, lit a fire, drank wine and listened to music again until falling asleep on the couch and then waking up in the middle of the night to go to the actual bed.  We woke up early and left the cabin by 9:15 am on Sunday morning.  

One last part to this story and that is the actual leaves!  Until next time.
