July 3, 2011. Western Head, NS. The Cottage.

The weather was perfect for a cottage so out we went yesterday morning.  Our task was to put all the furniture in place and make a list of the food we need for the season.  The plan was to stay over night.  After a lunch of a bowl of Betty's chowder (taken from the freezer from last fall) we started  into our tasks.  I had just called Ken to suggest that it was time to quit and open a bottle of wine when Mary and Walt drove up.  Perfect timing.

It was a lovely evening sitting on the deck and dining on easy food.  Lasagna, salad and fresh strawberries.  

The first night at the cottage is a bit of a puzzle.  Perhaps it is the size of the bedroom which is small, or perhaps the size of the bed which is a double, but the first night in that bedroom in that bed I do not sleep well.  I am sure it is all in my mind.

Vinal and Billy came bright and early today to install the dock but by 3:00, they thought it time to go fishing, so they did.   But the only part yet to be put in place is the boat lift so they deserved a bit of fun.  Now we are ready for the season.
