Autumn on Cape Cod
Columbus Day weekend saw our last overnight stay at the cottage for the season. There's a heating unit that is good for taking out the chill in the common living areas, but doesn't reach the bathroom or bedrooms. In order to keep the pipes from freezing up and bursting, the water needs to be turned off and pipes drained. After all the issues we encountered our first spring when the previous caretakers had winterized the cottage, we now have a plumber take care of it for us.
Life is quieter on Cape Cod after Labor Day, but things really kick up at home. Funny how that works out.
The girls have learned a lot by spending time by the ocean. We were quite surprised to see how narrow the river had become in this section of the beach.
That sand had been dropped there presumably during one of the storms. It will be interesting to see if it remains that way or changes over the winter months.
There's always a lot to learn at Nauset Beach. On the sand, we came across chunks of old land that had been uncovered during a storm during the winter of 2018. We didn't see any, but I read that there were horseshoe prints visible on some sections.

I love how someone left pumpkins here.
One bedroom 100% painted. Now it just needs some decor. And the bed needs to be painted....
