We are preparing to leave Nova Scotia. Yesterday Rita and I moved tables and chairs to allow the truck to fit in the garage for the winter. We emptied and unplugged the freezer and fridge and Rita has cleaned them both. And Rita and I brought all but 6 chairs from the deck into the garage. We made great progress.
Today we made our last trip to the cottage. The weather at the cottage was glorious with no wind and full sun but still with a touch of autumn in the air. We sat by the water and watched 5 ducks act in a peculiar way. All of sudden the ducks would race around in circles and duck into the water and splash around. They would repeat these antics every five minutes. Very odd. After lunch I stripped the bed and packed up the towels. We left the outside furniture for Vinal to use. He will arrange to remove the dock and raft and empty the fridge. Then he will contact the plumber to winterize the cottage but not until he has finished his fishing guide trips.
During the winter, Ross, who lives behind us, will trim the brush by the water and remove a small tree or two. When we return in June of 2018, the cottage will be ready to be used again except it will look better. We are fortunate that we have good friends who help us. We are preparing to fly to Texas on Wednesday. Ken and I are excited to see our Texas family. We will be ready.
