Today, Ken and I closed up the cottage. It has been a wonderful summer at the cottage but now it is time to put it to bed. I stripped the bed and brought the towels to be laundered. The refrigerator and pantry are now empty. Ken and I drove out to the cottage yesterday after breakfast. The weather was overcast and windy so we did nothing except stay inside the cottage and read. I was hoping to sit by the water. Instead we sat indoors, enjoying the cosy little cottage.
Actually, we don't close up the cottage all by ourselves. Vinal and Billie and their wives spend a couple of days bringing in the dock and fishing. Billie and Bunny bring their trailer. When they are finished, they also put away the furniture, both down by the dock and on the deck. Then, Vinal calls Robbie the plumber to come and shut down all the water. By mid October, the cottage really will be shut down for the season. Between Ken and me, along with our friends, the cottage will once again wait for spring.
