January. Our resident moose beds down across the creek and in the evenings wanders back and forth across the meadow as it pleases him. It pleases us too. This morning, he rose and enjoyed a breakfast of willow tips.
Life is good here. For us and our wildlife! I must say though that I'm pleased it's not me who has to forage for my breakfast, knee deep in snow.
William Ellery Channing
I will seek elegance rather than luxury, refinement rather than fashion. I will seek to be worthy more than respectable, wealthy and not rich. I will study hard, think quietly, talk gently, and act frankly. I will listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with an open heart. I will bear all things cheerfully, do all things bravely await occasions and hurry never. In a word I will let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious grow up through the common.
In the last few days; Winter in all her beauty has blanketed the meadow. Thick, soft magnificent snowflakes this morning, and lots of them! Yesterdays snowfall was heavy and wet so David has been out this morning plowing our road before it's too difficult to move. As you may know we live very remote and look after all our own services. Keeping our roads open in winter is one of the things that is a constant through the next 5 months.
Our four legged winter friends should be returning soon. We're on the lookout!
