Creed

We are dedicated to preserving

our cottaging lifestyle,

through cooperation with each other

and acceptance of our differences.

We live our cottage days

with respect, encouragement,

and generosity.

The sun shall rise on calm waters,

the loons shall call their lonely song,

and we shall stand together in spirit

to savor the tranquility

we have found.

Simple Life

Shingles, thatch and gingerbread

Smooth rock, sea and stone

Sandy, cliff or pebble beach

Small, all, wide sprawl, home

Waves lap, loons call

Gaze at the sky, and wonder

Porches, paths and towering tree

Docks, rocks, hills and then thunder

Misty mornings, slowly wake

Coffee on the porch

Muskoka, Bermuda, adirondack, twig

A quilt in reader’s corner

Heat wave, cold snap

Sauna, wood piled high

Kindling, logs, a match to paper

Smoke and flames ignite

Secret hideout, bunky, boathouse

A stroll if you a able

With pup in hand, down nature’s path

Wildflowers for our table.
