There is a line in the play, "A Place Called Wellington"  that goes something like this: "It's so peaceful and quiet.  Out here in the woods in the evening it's just me and the whole world.  My lantern struggles to penetrate the darkness yet I can see the whole world around me.  The stillness shouts at me."  Yes, wintertime on the farm is a quiet and peaceful time.  But life does not stop altogether.  Winter provides us an opportunity to view our environment in a totally different light than during the other times of the year when the hustle and bustle of visitors interrupts the peaceful surroundings of the beech/maple forest.

A Frosty Morning

Tho now sporting a coat of winter frost, these maple trees wait patiently for Spring.

A Heavy Blanket

This year we have been abundantly blessed. This picture was taken the first day of winter.

A 1909 Gasoline Engine

Now resting under a white blanker, in the spring this engine will become part of the demonstrations

Picnic Tables in Storage

It's hard to believe that in a few short weeks these tables will provide opportunities for picnics.

The Stage is Cold and Quiet....

...but come Spring music and laughter will abound!
