December 8th. A recharge day. Very cold, white, calm, still outside. Woodfire warm in. Calls to Simeon, our fantastic cook down the road, to accommodate all the dietary restrictions for this upcoming group. Calls for creativity and we’re all up for it. Waiting to hear about a project in New York I’d love to do. We were just able to let Martyna Majok, a very promising new writer, know that we will be able to host her and her dramaturge for the first part of January. So excited that we’re able to keep the spirit of the place going immediately after our first retreats.
A storm is on the way! Big snow and ice expected beginning Tuesday morning and continuing through Wednesday evening. We’ll see how it impacts travel Wednesday. It conjures up memories of ice storms from our past here when the entire countryside turns into Narnia, every tree, every branch encased in ice, a glass world. Silent, silent, then C-R-A-C-K!!! a huge branch somewhere gives under the extra weight and crashes to the ground. Power outages, trees on roads – all of which people here take in stride. In stride. The road and the power crews here in Vermont are so efficient and expert and dedicated. Very impressive. So come on storm! Wishing and intending everyone safe travels here to the warmth and safety of Fuller Road.
