perfect weekend

We spent last weekend at the cottage. Our neighbours were also there, so it was a wonderful weekend of great weather, great friends and a great shared dinner on Saturday. The boy also had friends up there, and the cast didn't slow him down much - it was a little chilly for swimming, so that wasn't an issue.
Sunday morning I woke up to clear blue skies and the mist rising from the lake.

My husband, when he got up, said - "it's worth it just for this moment", as he was looking at the misty lake, and a heron came out of the mist and landed on our beach. Of course, by the time I grabbed my camera, said heron had taken off a gain, but we did get to see it.
Heaven.
