the cottage we are staying at is very nice… it is right on the water and there are lots of windows…

the main section has air conditioning, which is not something I would usually want, but temperatures are expected to soar this week, so it may be just what we need…

there is a screened-in section with comfy sofas and a table for dining or playing games…

then there is a deck which leads down to a grassy area, and a deck on the edge of the cliff, as well as one on the shore…

so far we’ve managed to sit on every deck, lol… well, except the one facing the road;-)…

went out and took a few photos of the freshly blown leaves that my grandson dealt with the other night…

the plan was to clear off the decks and make a path to the back gate… that way it will be easier to shovel, sigh…

been doing lots of reading suggesting that leaving the leaves in the garden is beneficial to little critters…

this was how it looked before… lots of leaves, particularly as I don’t have any deciduous trees, lol…

spent the entire day in the garden… nice to enjoy the warmth and sun…

my grandson came over and a contractor friend of his arrived to do some work on the decks… we had arranged the appointment before the newest regulations were out… I was very happy that he wore his mask the whole time he was here…

he fixed a piece of the decking beside the hot tub, which was falling apart… then he tacked up loose boards under the main deck and finally he repaired a loose piece under the gate pergola which is going to make opening the hot tub much easier…

then the two of them made sure that all the lattice along the garage was in the proper spot… it was quite a process and looks so much better now…

after lunch our contractor friend left and my grandson cleaned the pump in the pond, mowed the grass, trimmed up some cedars, and dug out a bunch of flower pots from the shed…

after he left, I moved and rearranged pots, and planted a few items which can go in and out of the garage until the weather warms up…

I am truly blessed…
