A quiet day at the cabin was filled with little surprises of delight! A cup of tea sipped on the viewing bench gave us opportunity to talk and enjoy the ever-changing view from the point. The ridges are showing golden, as the grasses are drying in the summer heat. Peak fire season is here. We're always glad when we're through it and passed without incident.



A flock of ten wild turkeys came to visit. We observed them at the fire pit from a quiet spot by the window. As they left, I quietly followed them down Cabin-Woods Lane and was excited to be able to photograph them.

It is the custom to take a walk before we head home. This time we walked to a little homestead cabin at the far end of the property. A barn sits nearby and inside we found remnants of a neat and tidy little bed of grass and branches that were probably made by the little lost girl the week before. Her daddy said she had tried out the barn first before she decided to walk farther and found our 'more lived in looking' cabin. She was a competent young woman!

As we drove down the mountain towards home, we were delighted to see a young moose crossing the road ahead of us! We do not live in moose country! Reports of moose in our mountains are usually met with skeptisim, but this is the second sighting by anyone in our family. He was in no rush, walking past our truck and then heading through a dry meadow behind us. I was able to hop out of the truck and get quite a few pictures before he disappeared into the woods. He seemed to be looking for someone or something. Quite a guy!
May your week be blessed with many tiny delights and a few big ones too!
Wonderful photos you got in your "wild". The turkeys and the moose are great!!

What a wonderful post! Thank you for taking with us to your cabin..
ReplyDeleteOh I wish we had a cabin close by in the quiet where we could go. Our little travel trailer is nice but we have to hook it up and find a quiet spot. That's not going to happen anytime soon. Thanks for taking us along and for your gorgeous photography.
