July 5, 2013. Western Head, N.S. A Productive Day.

Some days you accomplish a lot.   Today was one of those special days.

At 8:00, Doug the excavator arrived to complete the repair of the driveway.   Now our road is better than it has ever been so we are pleased.   After an especially hard rain during the night, our driveway eroded, right beside the gate, giving us no way to get in or out easily, so Doug came first thing on Monday morning for a quick repair.   Today our road is perfect, thanks to Doug, the excavator.

At 9:00, Dan the exterminator came to spray for bugs.   At first, we did not think it necessary to use an exterminator in Nova Scotia, but we were wrong.   This Spring we had a battle with mice, so thanks to Walt and Dan, the critters are gone.  Now Dan is our best friend.   After spraying, we must leave the house for four hours so Dave and Irene went back to the Guest House while Ken and I went to the cottage.

At the cottage, I cleaned the bathrooms and the cottage while Ken vacuumed the change house and set up the chairs on the deck.  The day was hot so working outside was not easy so we left several tasks for another day but now the cottage is clean and ready to be used.   Sitting on the deck was pleasant with cool breezes coming across the water.    It is a charming spot.  

Dave and Irene and Ken and I ate dinner out on the deck at the ocean house being careful to move the table to the shade.  Last week it was too cool to sit outside.  Today it was too hot to sit outside in the sun.   The day was productive and pleasant so I am a happy camper..
