The Season Finale

We closed Emerald Lake house for the season.  Went up yesterday (Wednesday) and made a stop in Birch Run to shop the outlet for coats and boots for Kathy.  Surprisingly I did not go into the Bose outlet even though we passed it at least twice and also Kathy did not find what she was looking for.

Forty degrees in the house when we got there so started fireplace, electric heat, and propane heat.  Eventually temperature got up to sixty-eight before we went to bed.  We decided to put off the real work until Thursday.  

This morning Kathy cleaned leaves off the roof and gathered items we wanted to take back to Romeo.  I winterized the Ranger and John Deere lawn tractor.  After a brunch break we finished by pumping antifreeze into our water lines, then packed the truck and returned to Romeo.

We always feel a bit sad on our way out the driveway because we will not be back up until spring.
