Washing pine pitch off my parents house on Cape Cod.

Washing pine pitch off my parents house on Cape Cod.

Mary and I took advantage of the quiet time in Killington last week to visit with family in Massachusetts. We are quite lucky in that both sets of parents, in the mid to late 80's, are still with us. We always try to get down to visit them this time of year to do "some projects" around the house.

Today's picture shows one of those project; cleaning off the combination of pine pitch, pollen, and associated mildew from the vinyl siding on the north side of my parents home on Cape Cod.

It was not all work during our get away. Once again this year we stayed at the Liberty Hill Inn near my parents house in Yarmouthport MA. The innkeepers, John and Chris, run a beautiful inn. If you find yourself on Cape Cod, this is a great place to stay. (of course you should be coming to Killington, but we understand that even people who enjoy the mountains year round, sometime need to go to the sea for a change of pace.)

Keep it in the fairway...and don't forget your sunscreen!
