Some people make their new year’s resolutions in January, I make mine in September - at the end of cottage season. They usually go something like this, “Gee, I wished we’d had more time, I would have really liked to ….”

Despite all the fanfare, cottage season seems to slip by so quietly and so discretely with one weekend’s events quickly followed by another, and yet another. Before you know it, it’s Labour Day weekend.

This year was no exception. It seems like opening weekend was only weeks ago, when we endured three days of pouring rain, while we raked, cleaned and primed.

Now a blink later, it’s September, and close up weekend is fast approaching. So rather than dwell on what I didn’t do or get done, I have resolved to add them to next year’s list. Below are my resolutions for summer 2008.

Nine Things I’m Going to do Next Summer

1. Attend the Comox Valley Farmers Market.
2. Take a ride on the Alberni Pacific Railway in Port Alberni.
3. Go sea kayaking (I lake kayak).
4. Surf in Tofino
5. Spend a day visiting Duncan, Chemainus and Lake Cowichan
6. Plant grass at the cabin
7. Go windsurfing
8. Plant black eyed Susans
9. Buy a new boat

I would love to hear what’s on your list - please send me an email or leave a comment.

Cheers,

Julie
