June 26, 2013. Western Head, N.S. The Cottage.

It is a sweet little cottage.   Today was our first visit of the season.    We went even though it was raining.  Our goal was to take out the sheets and towels and clothes, and to make a list of what we need for the season.

Vinal had put in the dock and the raft so it looked like a cottage but it rained the whole time so we spent no time down at the water and the deck.   The lady who normally cleans the cottage was unavailable so next visit we must vacuum and clean the bathrooms.   Ken will operate the machines while I look after the scrubbing.   And the furniture has not been all removed from the change house, so we have work to do.   We decided that it is easier to do when the sun is shining.

One of the joys of being at the cottage is that we have nothing to do, once it is set for the season.   After my organizing task was completed today,  I read the end of Political Woman, the biography of Jeane Fitzpatrick.   Ken cooked us hamburgers for lunch.   But the best part of the day was the nap.  Both of us took an hours nap.    Pure bliss, taking a nap in a cosy little one bedroom cottage, with no phones or  TV or Internet, listening to the rain.  Pure bliss!!
