Summer Cottage is calling for me!

The sun is shining outside and I'm off to my family's summer cottage in few hours' time. 
Mum will drive from Helsinki to Jyväskylä (that's about 300kms) to pick me up and then we'll drive to Viitasaari together.
I haven't had the time to visit our summer cottage that much this summer. I have been there only once - for less than 2 days, so I'm kinda excited to go.  I hate to leave Timo & the littleones behind, but this time I have to.
So, I'll be washing carpets, taking walks in the forest, admiring a beautiful lake, maybe fishing a bit and I plan to pick some blueberries, too.
Have a great weekend, everybody!
I hope and pray that it will be a PF one to as many of us as possible. I'm packing 6 energy drinks with me to be sure.
Hugs & PF days,
Sanna

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

Been spending time away at my place up in the woods this month too, Sanna. Splenderously peaceful and sane.
Chiming in for pics, love to see the Finlandia 'scapes.

Thank you guys!
I had brilliant time. The sun was shining most of the time (it was clowdy only when I was washing the carpets).
I saw some unidentified birds, one mad squirrel, looked at the lake for hours... and picked 10.8 litres of blueberries! It's the best blueberry year ever at my neck of the woods (but let's not tell that to our summer cottage neighbours... )
This time I didn't take my digital camera with me, so no pics available, sorry.
But besides the relaxment.. the trip was worth its while. When I got back home, the littleones were so excited about the clean, fresh grass I brought them that they nearly escaped their cage! And Timo had cleaned the house and washed all the dishes. I think I'll be taking more of these mini vacations...
Sanna

Thank you, Dennis!
That lake is absolutely amazing... Our cottage is located in very peaceful part of it, so usually the noice I hear from the lake is the birds. It's my haven.

Beautiful Sanna.
If it's like the Scandinavian camps I see in photos, I know you'll have a great time.
We had a neat camp out in the middle of nowhere when I was a tyke....no lake though...but it was great. Miss it a lot.
We had to initiate an bug holocost before it was livable.
Thems wuz the days.
