Christmas comes to Clark's Crossing





It could be a sign of good things to come.  The first couple arrived at Clark's Crossing before Christmas, well prepared, with bottles of wine and movies in hand for some relaxation by the fire.  They drove through a real winter storm to get here, quite determined to get to their "retreat".  We had just about 2 feet of snow fall that day.   I had to shovel three times before they arrived and then they pitched in shovelling snow more than once.   I was so happy that they took me up on my offer to come up to our "green" house for tea and a visit.  They were very interesting with much to share and talk about.  They came smiling up the hill by snowshoe, familiar with the effort it would take.  The snow was so powdery and beautiful, just as I had imagined it would be for them, perfectly romantic.  They left me a note in the guest book, saying that they look forward to coming again in the Spring, to walk on our trails. 


Here's a look at where we live from the other side of the road.  Now that there are no leaves (and six maples less) you can see the house a bit more, and we can see a lot more sky.  Here's to looking on the bright side of things.  The garden is under snow now.   We have tilled up twice as much space as last year, it'll still be half the size that Grandma had.  In the Spring I'll be putting in a whole long row of STRAWBERRIES.


Wish you all a Happy New Year and the Blue Sky in 2011.

Your amie,
Sheila
