Hang In There!

If you heard a soft WHUMP recently, it was the sound of Winter arriving in Ontario.
Or, as Brian called it, Insta-Winter... He should know, he's the one who's being doing the bulk of the shoveling, plowing and general rearranging of the snow.

The horses love it. And, as an added bonus, come in clean after rolling and playing outdoors. The deer trail their footprints across the snow like strands of pearls. The Bobs are collectively revelling in their new, toasty-warm indoor quarters. the birds are back at the birdfeeders. We've all had to dig out our sunglasses.

And Carol is thrilled that a new FabricLand has opened in Huntsville. She is our major domo in charge of decorating, and spends a lot of time with a sewing machine creating curtains, pillow shams, etc. for teh cottages. She's the one who suggested we use this photo -- taken by Brian (who takes much better pictures than I do), to epitomize the spirit of winter.

Hang in There! It might be cold, and snowy, but it is truly beautiful, and there's still so very much you can do! And weather, it is reported, is still the number one topic of conversation amongst Canadians -- so where would we be without it???
