We last visited our little lake cottage back in early November. Needless to say, it has been awhile. Despite the combo platter of rain, freezing drizzle, and snow, we headed north yesterday to check on the house and take stock of what's needed to whip it back into visitor-ready status.
Aside from a downed tree leaning precariously at the end of the driveway, there was nothing too eventful in our findings. Signs of mouse activity in the loft, but that's relatively common and tough to avoid when we abandon ship for 5 months.
There was a slight dusting of snow from the day's precipitation and one spot under the deck where some built up ice was still in the process of melting, but otherwise the pond was thawed and signs of winter were fading. The loon was happily diving in the chilly water and the daffodils were poking through the dirt. Sure signs of spring! We gathered laundry, made lists of tasks and supplies, then drove back to Portsmouth. We'll be back.
