It’s a retreat.

We call it Coastal Woods Farm. We’re not sure what kind of farm this is but we know it needs a pool, sauna, 3 season room, maybe it’s a farm spa? Let’s go with that.

Whatever it becomes, right now it is 3 acres of peace and quiet.

It’s Magical watching the leaves drift off the trees on the east side of the farm with our morning coffee as the sun climbs above the trees.

We’re surrounded by a colorful symphony. of trees preparing for winter,. The season of monarchs, and hummingbirds has passed.

Now the native birds, squirrels, and chipmunks greet us on our walks. Saw a coyote on the lane 2 weeks ago, time to learn more about them.

We’re looking forward to the dark cold days ahead.

Car in the garage windy lunchtime beach walks, evenings by the fire reading, early to bed, waking up to frosty mornings or better yet surrounded by deep snowy woods and magical icy trees when the sun hits the branches. Like living in a snow globe, a winter wonderland, we hope!

Making plans for cross country skiing in Burlingame or right up the lane into the 325 acres at the end of the driveway.

Decking the Halls for TC’s 1 year birthday party for 11 people in late December. We hung the 12 foot tapestry last weekend- looks great! The baby grand piano will be played by friends from chorus and we plan to sing the songs of good tidings and peace on earth ( as far off as it is).

New friends and community being found by joining The Westerly Chorus & The South Kingstown Land Trust.

Slice of heaven, this coastal woods farm, where we are growing crops of wonder and gratitude.
