As moose hunting comes to a close in this region for the year deer hunting begins and except for the occasional distant shot things are pretty peaceful up here on the mountain. It is trying really hard to feel like an Indian summer, one day cold, one day warm and the next into the high 60s with more than the usual amount of rain but the forecast looks good and we are happy not to see any white stuff yet! The birds are still around by the zillions it appears and we saw our first red cardinal this week. The warm weather may have brought them in - in fact it was 22 degrees yesterday afternoon when I had my outdoors shower! Don't know how much longer I'll be doing that! Meanwhile Marie and I are slowly making sense of heating and electrical systems and doing our best to keep everything to code. We have our hot water heater working and our backup genny tested and ready to go, two cords of wood under the deck for the BIS fireplace - and I finally installed the new lockset in the front door. We had over two tons of ceramic tile delivered this past week for the mezzanine and main floor and we have picked out all the plumbing accessories for the bath, two showers and three sinks. Now we await for another delivery of the siding next week - hopefully this time it will be the colour we actually ordered - and our appliances which we bought in Montreal when we were last there. It won't be long before we are ready to move up to the house, but first we have to winterize the cabin and maybe start looking for my snowshoes!
