Fall Chores

1. take boat and jet ski out of Higley, transport to A Bay for winterization, pick up jet ski and store in open garage at home

2. cut down perennial beds at camp and home. many wheelbarrow loads to throw off cliff or deposit in woods, pull up annuals.

3. bring outside furniture inside at camp and cover pieces that stay outside. clean out refrigerator and bring food goods to town home, take up stairs to water, bring in whips

4. turn off water at camp and bring home all tools that might be used during winter on projects during those long winter nights when we don't have any thing to do. ha ha

5. rake tons of leaves, home and camp, so we have a viable lawn next spring. this year the brown bags are the chosen vessels for Canton. we're green! they're more expensive!

6. bring outdoor furniture at home inside garden room, candles, fountains, pots, side tables, hanging lanterns, stone pets, etc.
