Good morning friends… it’s 43 degrees outside. The coffee is brewing, the candle is lit and the sun is coming up. I am sharing a hygge moment with you… don’t you think?
A lovely sunrise this morning…
When the soybean fields start to turn yellow and the trees start to show some color I know it’s time for us to say goodbye to our LakeHouse and get ready to go back to our home in AZ.
Oh, just hold on a minute… there’s still lots to enjoy here before we head west.
Poke berries! A lovely sight especially for the birds!
Just take a ride on a back country road and there you will see… glimpses of Purple Wild Aster blooming in the fields of Goldenrod.
And migratory ducks enjoy stopping by the lake for a rest.
The day after I took this picture of this house on Lakeside… she changed her flag to a pumpkin instead of the sun.
Speaking of Lakeside… another road post has been painted. If you missed my blog writings on this Lakeside Event you can read all about it here.
Isn’t this gorgeous!
It was kind of cute to find some sunflowers growing almost directly across the street from the newly painted post.
A short walk up from Lakeside this truck can be seen often…
There is still some time for a few more visits to our local watering holes…
What’s nice for us is… not many patrons are here due to the 25% capacity. It’s nice for us but not so great for the restaurant. However, TakeOut has become extremely popular for many of these places.
And there’s always Sunset Grill to watch a sunset, be outdoors and partake in an adult beverage as well.
Saying Goodbye will be hard. We will miss friends and family that are close by …but what a lovely summer it has been to be here by the lake.
Thank you for all your visits this summer!
Pennsylvania has been so lovely for you to share with us, Nsnce. Thank you!
I’m so happy you have visited with us! Thank you for that!
It’s been a wonderful time at the LakeHouse… 😊
Stay well my friend!
It has to be equally bitter-sweet every year <3 Good thing you have wonderful, amazing AZ to look forward to 🙂
Bittersweet indeed but AZ is lovely as well. Plus we’ll be back to enjoy the Holidays!
Thank you for stopping in!
It’s good to have something to look forward to. You have the best of two worlds.
We are extremely blessed! 🙏🏻
A wonderful summer goodbye Nancy! Love love the sunflower post and the tall ones growing, and that old truck is so cute! Safe travels back to Arizona~

Thanks so much Jenna. It’s a bittersweet time for us.
Prayers for you down their on the coast. 🙏🏻
Nancy, I have so enjoyed visiting all summer with you at your lake house. What a truly beautiful post today…wild asters mixed with goldenrods, the cute sunflower post, the beautiful sunrise, the fun red truck, and the lovely hygge moment.
Safe travels back to Arizona, sweet friend! ♥️
Thank you my sweet Alabama friend. It’s a bittersweet time for us… but we’ll be back in the late fall!
Happy Tuesday to you!
Glad to hear you had a lovely summer. See you in AZ 😊
It was lovely and now it’s time to get my hiking boots out!
See you in the Wild, Wild West!🤠
Happy and safe trails back to Arizona.
Thank you! 😊
Good morning, Nancy! I have so loved reading about your summer in Pennsylvania. It looks like such a beautiful place. I can’t believe how fast the summer has gone by. Take care, and safe travels, sweet friend!
Thank you so much Shannon!
We are so blessed to be able to do this.
And before you know it… we will be back for the Holidays.
Happy Tuesday lovely Shannon!
Looks positively beautiful out there- love Pennsylvania! Great pictures, as always!
Thank you Lauren. Pennsylvania is Beautiful! Thank you for the visit. Take care now…
I think you have the best of both worlds, a lake house for summer and Arizona for winter. Both places have spectacular things to photograph! I need to head out right now to catch those soybean fields yellowing. I love when they’re yellow up against an old barn. Last year (or was it the year before?) I got out too late and the fields were all brown. The barns were still pretty though! Please be safe on your travels back to Arizona!
Oh Dawn… they are a pretty yellow right now. Get out there real quick. 😊
And yes we have the best of both worlds for sure. We are truly blessed and Thank God everyday for our blessings.
Take good care my friend.
Nancy, you’ve had a fun filled summer! Enjoy the rest of your time there and have a safe trip back to Arizona.
Thank you my friend!
Beautiful morning, Nancy. Looks much like ours here in VA. Happy travels back out West. How blessed you are!

What a beautiful summer it was on the lake! Thank you for sharing all of it’s charms. Take good care Nancy
Thank you Sandra!
So many lovely photos!
Thank you!
It’s still so beautiful there despite the chilly temps. Have a great day.
Thank you Chris!
Lovely neighborhood you have there so it’s really our pleasure to stop and visit. 🙂 When you do leave, have a safe trip back.
Thank you Judy!
Such a beautiful respite you have there <3 Thanks for sharing it with us!
So glad you could stop by! Thank you for everything!
OMG 😂 for a minute I thought you were saying goodbye to blogging (be still my beating heart). I know you love your time at the lake house, but I’m thinking of your other, equally lovely home – and next week’s Tidbits.
Thank you Clare!
🥰
What a great send off to summer! I love the sunflower post. How creative! And that truck, too! I hope you enjoy the rest of your time at the lake house.
Thank you so much!
Sure sounds like the summer was wonderful on the lake from all your blogs. But the desert is starting to cool down some and your other gardens are needing you.
They sure are! Thank you!
Lovely fall pictures! You sound like the migrating birds, in tune to nature for the cues to transition. May God bless you with safe travels.
Thank you so very much!
I can’t imagine anything more wonderful than having a summer house on a lake. That corner of PA is just lovely. Glad to hear that you’re back in a warmer clime and ready to settle in.
Thank you my friend!
Dearest Nancy, thank you so much for sharing this lovely beauty with all of us. I, too, love what the local artist has done with painting the posts. It truly is gorgeous and adds such a charm to the neighborhood. God bless them for their talent!
The Goldenrod and Asters made my heart sigh, thankful for such awesome beauty in nature. My goodness, isn’t it healing to just take in all that God created for us to enjoy?
I hope you have created a lifetime of new, blessed memories at the Lake House and will have an equally blessed time back in AZ. ❤
Thank you so much for your kind words and your lovely visit. I hope you can come again.
Have a lovely day.
Aw, thank you so much, Nancy. I will certainly be a return visitor to your wonderful site. Have a beautifully blessed week! ♥️
