Labor Day is to Fall as Memorial Day is to Spring. Together they are kind of the unofficial bookends of summer. As activities begin to resume, people return to their routines for the fall and winter. Although this year is unique and many are unsure of what those routines will be with the current pandemic going on, Labor Day weekend is still an opportunity to enjoy the nice weather of summer with far fewer mosquitoes and biting flies. That often includes a weekend at the lake camping and taking in some fishing or enjoying a morning sunrise while slowly drifting over the calm water.

With fewer organized activities it allows us to spend time relaxing and reflecting with family enjoying each others company. I’m choosing to enjoy the outdoors this weekend as much as possible. Fall will quickly turn rainy and cold leaving only the memories of summer. Whatever your weekend holds, I hope it’s an enjoyable one!
