The sounds of summer at the lake

Enjoying the sounds of summer at the lake with a nICE mug – a drinking glass made out of ice.

Lake cabins and cottages are full of distant, familiar sounds, especially on a calm summer day.  The way a boat motor cranks to life easily defines its owner: “I think Jack’s going fishing”.  A faint playful laughter down the shoreline: “The Kurtz kids must be swimming”.  The slap of a neighbors screen door. And there’s an unmistakable “thud, thud, thud, swoosh” that signals John – after finishing a sauna round – with a mad dash out to the end of the dock and plunge into the cool lake.

Many summer sounds evoke familiar warm memories, past and present.  Knowing a neighbor is moments from that wonderful refreshing plunge into a cool lake fills one with a smile and inspiration to fire up their own sauna.

Saunas are contagious.

    I love the sound of feet slapping on dock boards followed by a splash. Every dock has it’s own distinct pitch.
