When we were hunting for a lake place, a year-round property was an essential on the check list. For the past few years, we've spent fall weekends and even a few winter weekends up at Round Pond. It was a quick lesson in home ownership. Busted pipe, broken water heater, frozen well. We made some understandable mistakes in the harsh NH winter but we think we have it down by now (cross your fingers).
We spent this last weekend buttoning everything up because we shockingly realized we won't return until mid-January. Mid-January! It seems insane to be away so long, but with busy weekends, travel over the holidays, and the fact that we want to stick around Portsmouth, we decided to drain the water, put everything away, and abandon ship. It wasn't easy with the leaves at their peak, a fire roasting in the stove, and a quiet peacefulness around the lake. But we'll be back!
