A cottage on Lake Metigoshe

We left Brandon early in the morning when it was dark and foggy with impending downpour any minute. We drove south on Highway 10 for over an hour and located the cottage I was commissioned to paint on Lake Metigoshe which I had never been to before. It was sunny and a bit windy but certainly not the kind of weather we would have anticipated. It was a beautiful lake with most of it on the US side full of beautiful cottages. After I finished the painting of the cottage , its owner was so kind as to give us a boat ride around the lake with her kind neighbor navigating the boat and serving as a very knowledgeable tour guide to us. We left at 4 p.m not knowing that Brandon had been hit by a huge rain storm while we were away. We stopped at Boisseevain to have a picnic in a very quiet park. It was so relaxing when the sweltering hot muggy weather was suddenly behind us.
