We came to Vermont over 30 years ago just to experience New England snow. We told ourselves and family that we were only coming for 5 years. We wanted to ski and snowshoe, something that is not easily done where we grew up. But Vermont took hold of us and we began to feel our roots sinking deeper into this northern soil. We purchased a 200+ year old cape, had three kids who shared our love of snow, grasped hold of homesteading, and sank our heels deep in the agricultural life around us. Our kids had skis on their feet as soon as they could stand and ice skates almost before they could walk. Our yard was full of snow angels, snowshoe trails, and lost mittens. Our home was full of hot chocolate, wet snow clothes, scads of skis and skates, and fires in the woodstove to warm your toes. Family finally quit asking when we were moving back south. As I tell my southern relatives, you have to embrace winter or it will wear you down.
Today, I am embracing winter.
