Like Canadians, Finns too have cabins ( summer homes ) close to lakes. <br />Only the younger generation no longer is interested in owning a cabin. Since many summers have been cool, even cold, places with palm trees raise more interest.<br />mettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732534795009852825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-72221300878893502362015-05-24T17:14:39.520-07:002015-05-24T17:14:39.520-07:00Hi Vicki, so glad you are enjoying the blog.

The wood pecker looks a bit different than the ones I've seen around here. Your lake is beautiful, and I always feel at peace when I visit my own lake. I love that picture of your grandsons, so very cute. And those old rustic barns are wonderful. It sounds like you had a great time at the lake. Our lake was pretty low the last time I visited, and I'm hoping it's full now.<br /><br />Have a good rest of the week.<br /><br />love, ~SheriRed Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-78505919601546644542015-05-21T15:25:53.520-07:002015-05-21T15:25:53.520-07:00This is such a beautiful spot, Patricia!
