Another big job done

Yesterday myself and Joe & Laura from Cutters Cove took down the huge dead Birch tree beside Cottage #4. In just over 3 hours we had it dropped (in the exact spot we wanted), blocked, split and stacked in the wood shed.

So I must say the place is looking rather neat and tidy and is all but ready for winter and I even have a jump on things for next year including a good supply of firewood for both the campfire(s) and the woodstoves.

Till next time

First Snow

Well yesterday morning we awoke to our first snow of the season.  And I had finished all my raking the day before!

It is still on the ground and roof-tops this morning, however I suspect the warmer temps and forecasted showers may make it all disappear.

Here is a photo I took yesterday morning.

Our First Snowfall

Hello Readers

Well we awoke this morning to a light dusting of white, although it will be gone by the end of the day as temps rise to above zero.

As usual it has been a busy time getting ready for winter. The cottages are now all drained of water, the entire property is raked, other then "the hill" which I hope to do next week, yesterday I disconnected the dock from the shore and pulled the bridge up on the beach and the day before I finally broke down and brought in our boat. I ended up having to go in the lake up to my knees and I can tell you it was a touch on the cold side! BBQ's are away, all boats stored, rooves and gutters cleaned on all cottages and a huge load of split pine is now "seasoning" for next summers beach side campfires.

Enjoy these last few days of Fall.

Till next time
