I spent my childhood (and now my adulthood) living close to the water. It shook me to think of my cousins who didn't live down the street from a lake. Spending time at the water was, and is today, such a big part of my outdoor time that not having one within a few minutes amazed and even scared me. I often think back to those days, of being afraid of not being near water, when I start to get down on my locale. Now if I thought about living far from (cold and snow) I feel a bit uneasy. There is something about the seasons and this land and how rooted (and routed!) I am to this town, those little side roads, and these quaint shops. I do love it here and all the sun, clouds, snowflakes, colorful leaves, and warm breezes that come with living right exactly where I want to be.

Beautiful. I grew up on the coast of Lake Michigan. There is so much magic in living near the water. Enjoy!
Do I recognize Keuka Lake? My grandparents had a place there. Many memories were made on that lake!
I feel much the same way about where we live. It was a deliberate choice to move back here from NH, for family & because we wanted to be in a place with 4 distinct seasons and all of the beauty of this state. I love NY!
You are most certainly blessed, Jessica. I am now totally landlocked and I ache for the water. Ache for it. How wonderful, not only that you are blessed, but that you know it.
gorgeous photos! I am starting to feel the same way about my home state.
I feel so much the same way in the dead on winter in colorado. Knowing that my boys are growing up along the mountains, with so much beauty and out door life is something that I know that they will cherish. That does not, however, mean that I will openly embrace 6 months of winter weather :)
I have always wondered where you lived. Now I know. And yes, you are very lucky indeed!
