Closed for the Season

Of course it turned out to be a beautiful day as we closed up the cottage for the season.
It was like Mother Nature was teasing us for leaving.

We turned off the water, put away the fire pit supplies and out door chairs. I went for one last quad ride, before Wayne took out the quad batteries and ran them out of gas.
Look how pretty the changing leaves are.

I totally cleaned up the cottage.
I thought I would share with you a bit of our cottage.
This is in the kitchen area.  I wonder what the theme is in this room, teehee.
My husband Wayne took those photos of those bears on the wall.
I put pinecones in the table centre piece. Yep those are bears on either side of the log, teehee.

Here we are leaving the cottage :(
Locking up the gate on the way out.
The centre building is our cottage.
The one the right is our 26.5 ft trailer. We use it as a guest cottage or when I am working on a large project I use it as a craft room ;)
The buildings on the left are the garage, then the sauna and the tiny one behind the pole is the outhouse.

Every year at this time, on our way home from the cottage, I see this beautiful scene of the fall trees.
Every year I try to get the perfect photo.
And every year I fail, lol.
Here you can see the power line.
















And here you see the antenna of the truck.
Plus I can never capture the beautiful crisp colours.
Mind you these are taken from my cell phone.

When we got home from the cottage, Wayne wanted to run to Home Depot.
I didn't really want to go out..until I realized I wanted some new pens for my planner.
I know, I have so many pens, but I am trying to find some pens that don't bleed though my pages.
I love thick pen nibs, as I have big bold primary writing.
I really like my sparkly pens, but they really bled through.
So I will give these a try. I did try them a bit in the store and they didn't seem to bleed through.

Now that we are talking about planners....
Its day #29
"Loves"
Two of my loves in my planner, these photos of my family I keep in the business card holder. And of course my washi tape ;)

I hope you all had a great weekend and a creative Sunday :)
I actually got to create tonight :)
I finally finished my Tim Holtz tag for September :)   I will share with you that tomorrow. Don't want to overload this post more than it is ;)

Tracy :)
