A Place For The Future Past

A year ago today, (Halloween) the funding came through and we were officially owners of Dryad’s Rest — though we had actually moved in a few days earlier (thank the gods — just before that crazy first freeze — true portent of the winter to come!). We’ve come so far in a year with so much to come — it is still hard for me to believe. Then the dawn breaks and I lookd outside and I can’t help but stare and look around me in wonder. Oh the possibilities…..

Sharing this magnificent treasure has made it even more wonderful and I look forward to much more. The Labor Day weekend bash was a giant success — already planning for next year’s event. More trails, another game, hopefully for horses too. Then there’s the Willapa trail — oh the possibilities!

So today I celebrated by taking the loppers up Tanglewood Trail and went trail lopping, cleaning the topline. Em and I then gathered rose hips for drying and made a batch of venison jerky.. Tonight I will light every candle in the house and raise a glass of wine to toast and give thanks for a wonderful first year.
