I woke up to a winter wonderland this morning. What a beautiful sight. The snow had started to fall in the pre-dawn hours, and by breakfast time all outdoors was under a thick and fluffy blanket of white. A fire was crackling in the dining room fireplace to add to the ambience. One of our guests described it just right. "It's a Norman Rockwell kind of day." "Or, Currier and Ives," someone else chimed in.
Breakfast started with Pears Poached in Wine and Spices. The morning's temptations included Pineapple Banana Coconut Muffins, Pumpkin Pancakes with Pure Maple Syrup from a nearby farm and Hearty Sausage Links. Nearly everyone lingered over breakfast and just one more cup of coffee ... and another ...
This would be a perfect day for a sleigh ride at one of the nearby farms. Yes, it's February, and not Christmas, but these perfect Winter days are to cherish and enjoy. After all, isn't that why we plan a getaway?
May all your days be merry and bright ...
