Any cottager knows that the very best days are those when the grass is cut, the cabin is tidy(ish), and any major projects are either finished or finished enough for the time being. Because on those days, there’s nowhere else to be besides on the dock by the water, watching the day float on by.
Kids may join you for a dip in the lake. Friends may join you for a drink in the shade. But all you’ve got to do is plunk down and practice the ancient art of doing nothing. Consider this playlist your partner-in-crime: 16 sunny songs for the perfect dock day. The less you get done on a day like that, the better.
