Cold Winter has settled in, made herself at home here at Fair Haven. She is most welcomed by a warm fire and attentive heart. We watch her, and she performs for us. She brings us winter birds, pelicans, and seagulls, an occasional snow that falls with something of the grace of infinitesimal butterflies lighting on our acres. Soft and quiet, her snow is and is always welcome for a short stay. Winter pushes our bar quite a bit higher, forcing us to brace up with will and wool to face her, hike with her, walk in her stillness and the cold of her mornings. Winter is like an old, bony, she neighbor whose translucent hands and milky eyes comfort you as she hands you a cup of hot chocolate.
