Getting Ready for Winter

Things are progressing well with our preparations for the oncoming winter.

All the cottages are now drained of water, anti-freeze is in all the "S-Bends", the pump, UV, filter etc are safely stored in the warm basement. Picnic tables are all leaning against a tree, chairs are all stacked away and today I brought in all the boats, surf bikes, paddle boats, kayak and canoe, plus the motors. I did sneak in one last quick spin on the lake with snow/sleet swirling around about my head.

Raking is going well, but I must admit I have had enough of it! I have found the most effective tool is a snow shovel.

We have guests arriving this Friday for 2 nights (don't forget cottages 1 & 10 are available all year round) and it looks like the weather is going to be sunny and warm (well its going to be above 10c).

We have had a family of 4 staying with us this past week or so but they have refused to register or pay anything (they were here last year), and the other night they were right outside our dining room window eating the tops off what was left of our flowers. They also have a nasty tendency to jump out in front of our car when we are heading out along our driveway.

Well, better go and cleanup from after dinner.

Hope everyone likes are new additions on the website (vacancy calendar, and cottages page with interior photos). If anyone has any suggestions for other things you would like to see on our site, please let us know via Email: info@algonquinwoods.com

We would also like to update the scrap book page so if anyone has any photos, please feel free to send them on, just remember we are on dial-up up here at the "Woods" so keep the number of pixels down!

Till next time.
