So inviting. Two empty Muskoka chairs on an empty beach on the east shore
of Georgian Bay. On private property.. Not our chairs. So tempting.
“I am going to sit on one of those and contemplate how the universe is unfolding.”
“Then I will join you,” said our hostess Penny.”
And George along with Marjorie and our dogs arrived. A little much. Very
nervy invasion . Squattng on chairs without permission.
Then along came Dave! The owner of the chairs….the owner of this part of the beach.
Not a good sign. I felt a confrontation coming.
But that did not happen.
“Sit down, no problem.”
“What magnificent chairs…and the view…wonderful”
“Yes, we think so too…I was just coming down for my breakfast.”
“Sorry,we could not resist those chairs.”
“Precisely how I feel each day here on the beach…so glad you feel the same.”
“Why is this huge stretch of beach so empty?”
“Summer nearly over…”
“Your cottage back there in the forest?”
“Yes…you can get to the road on our boardwalk if you wish…you will
find our cottage, and I bet I know which one you will admire most.”
Dave had a large modern cottage…an artistic structure with many rooms nestled into the forest. But he preserved
the old cottages as well. There was a time long ago when these tiny buildings were all there was to cottage life.
I could say a lot more about our visit but those words would be wasted. Scroll down…enjoy.
