The Little Cabin on the Hill

Our destination for the week was Weirs Beach or as the locals call it, The Weirs, an area of Laconia, New Hampshire

along Lake Winnipesauke

We had a little cabin with a screened porch at the Half Moon Motel and Cottages. It's a charming spot and within walking distance of town, the boardwalk, and the beach. There was a neighborhood vibe and sitting on the porch, we would chat with our neighbors or people walking by.

There was an elderly couple staying in the cottage to the right. Elderly, I laugh because they were probably only 4 or 5 years older than us. The woman told us she had been coming here since she had been a young girl and she kept up the tradition with her children, now grown. Her husband was cute and when we would go out for dinner he would say, "Don't come back too late, girls." 

After we had settled in, I was relaxing on the porch when the sky began to darken. I told her Teague hoped we would get to see a thunderstorm over the lake. There are times I am able to manifest things just by thinking of them.

Teague had gone to take a dip in the pool, and I told her if thunder roars to come indoors. 

She got a bit of a swim in and then thunder. 

and I got my wish. There was a magnificent bolt of lightning over the lake, but I wasn't able to catch it on camera.

After the rain, we were on our way through town to go to dinner, and I was able to capture this beautiful rainbow.
