Really over
Nov. 1st, 2005 12:08 pmThe summer, that is.
We went up to Gloucester yesterday to clear out the perishable food and other things we didn't want to leave behind (like the 3/4 of the people we didn't bring back with us last week), put away all the hoses and drain the pipes, etc. This is probably the latest we've done this in the 27 years we've had the place (although I can think of one year when, although everything else had been done, the actual pipe-draining didn't happen until November). It seemed like the car was more crowded than usual (in fact, there are a few non-essential things that we'll pick up next time, like the baseball books and the needing-laundering sheets and towels), but that's because this is the first time in a very long time that we've done this with only one car.
Of course, today is the warmest day we've had in weeks, and the weather is supposed to stay mild right into the weekend.
Oh, I should call and get the city to turn off the water now, becore I forget.
