I celebrated the beginning of summer through the ages old practice of applying Mr.Clean to musty surfaces. The cottage floors, walls, counter-tops and tables have all been thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, and some (but not all) of the furnishings have been dusted. I also killed countless mosquitoes, spiders and various insects of all kinds and de-webbed the outhouse. The cottage is now ready for guests.
All that remains is for the lawn to be mowed clear of knee-high “grass” (I use quotation marks because the lawn is really more of a meadow filled with wildflowers, weeds, various grains and mixed berry bushes), a small electrical repair (the front porch light isn’t working) and for a bed to be taken apart and another put together.
Regular cottage weekend attendees will be happy to know that I picked up beer from a local depanneur before all the good stuff sold out, so instead of 50 and Wildcat, we have Heineken and MGD. Yeah, it’s going to be a high-class affair this weekend.
It’s still not too late to sign-up for this weekend, so let me know if you want to come up for a few days.
