The Woodland Celebration

Nestled within the forest clearing, the woodland creatures were busy preparing for a special event. From behind a tree I watched in amazement as they worked together. From the small house tables, chairs, and decorations were brought outside. The sweet aroma of cakes and cookies filled the air. Sunflowers were cut and placed within vases, adorning the tables. I watched as they sang and played as the scene formed before me. Someone was going to be surprised later today at the woodland celebration.

Cozy Shelter

At the end of the long winding drive, stood a small building. Most who passed by the location paid little attention to the small structure. For now it stood unused, drawing little attention to itself, but soon the little structure would be filled with giggles and laughter as little ones waited for the school bus each morning as the sought the warmth of the cozy shelter from cold winds and blowing snow.

Mountain Oasis

Nestled in the low valley below the white crested mountain tops stood the small cottage, where the single occupant graciously catered to those who visited. People from all over the world came to visit her little mountain oasis. Often the apologized for disturbing her serenity and with a plump smile upon her rosy face she told them it was no bother at all and showed them around her gardens and to the mountain trails. Before they left to return home, the plump hostess would send her visitors off with fresh baked goods and honey from her hives.

Cozy Home

Nested at the bottom of the mountain in small clearing lives the young writer and her best friend. The pair surround themselves with nature not minding the little rabbit that enjoys nibbling on the old dogs furry ear. The young writer often finds her inspiration in the little rabbits antics making him her main character. Occasionally she will have visitors who come to hear read, learn about her latest book, or enjoy some of her baking while sipping on tea. When asked why she lives this far out of town, she smiles and  simply motions around the wide open space and quietly replies “It is peaceful out here and frankly the best place to find the most delightful characters.” Everyone who comes to visit agrees it is peaceful around her cozy home.

For Toby

No matter how old we are or where we are in ours lives, each of us has had a Toby. Their name may be different and they may be a different species of pet, but we all have our Toby. The little creatures we adopt into our lives and set roost in our hearts. Their cute little faces covered in fur or feather light up when we enter a room or return from a day at work. Their love for us never ends and their moments of comfort help ease a rough situation. In the end we would do anything for little Toby’s to see that they are well taken care of, after all they are our adopted children who love us with every ounce of their being unconditionally.

Stars Lead the Way

Little Red, was out for one of her many trips to her grans house when she realized she had forgot the basket of goodies her mom had prepared. Instead of turning around and heading back home, she decided to see if there was a bakery around. She had recalled seeing an ad in the paper once about the Baker to the Stars and wondered how she would find them without having their address. As she wandered deeper into the woods, she suddenly remembered a little jingle and stopped in her tracks. All she needed to do was let the stars lead the way and she would find the new baker and his goodies…

Fresh Morning Air

Having completed her morning chores, the young girl grabbed a small basket and made her way through the house. She stopped in the kitchen to grab a tall clear bottle and placed it inside the basket, continuing on her way; a determined look filled her face. Slowly she opened the door and filled her lungs with the fresh morning air. Smiling she put her basket down on the ground, removed the clear bottle and placed it next to the basket. Leaving the front stoop for a brief moment, she returned with a chair, placing it next to the other items. Stretching, she again took a deep breath of the fresh morning air and sat down in the chair. She picked up her book and the bottle and settled in for a well deserved break before the others woke for their day.

Single White Tree

In the garden near my home, grew the single white tree. It is not like the other trees that I see, mostly greens and bright oranges surrounding the small sandy area. The single white tree stands tall and proud, not covered in snow but wearing a permanent coat of white. Use to only seeing trees so white after a long winters storm, the single white tree became the pride and joy of the people in the area. A small pavilion was constructed where many came to sit and watch the single white tree and the small birds dance in the fountain.

The Little Cottage

Long weekends mean packing up the car and heading off to the cottage after a long winters rest. We make the year trip each year telling our friends and family that we are going to the cottage to rest and relax. Yet we know we are going to clean up the long winters dust, open the windows, and set up the cottage for the season until it comes time to close it up again for the long winters rest. We spend our long weekend cleaning up the yard, replanting flowers, and airing out the cabin. We are find ourselves just as busy as the work week, yet this is more rewarding in the end.

The Entrance Way

The entrance way of the home is the first thing our guests see. My grandma use to say that you can tell a lot about the people who live in a home by their entrance way; something I never really gave much thought to as a children. Now that I think back to my grandma and the things she would say, I can now see how the entrance way opens the world to those who live within the home. Some entrance ways are clean with everything in their place and others are a mess with items strewn here and there. My favourite entrance ways are those with clear signs of animals and children. You know this home is filled with love and they are not afraid to show it.
