Winter Wonderland at the GateWay

Winter at the cottages can be just the thing for world weary folks. The evidence is in the pictures. These are the one bedroom Winter of 2007. Gorgeous huh? The fireplace going, hot cocoa and a good book. hummm Sounds like a good place to be to me! Spectacularly peaceful!



We make sure there is a biodegradable ice melter so that you can maneuver the stairway, and we have plenty of coffee/tea and cocoa for the quiet times of watching the world go by.
If you want to venture out, you will see a wonderland just outside the door. BUT, in Winter, be sure you bring hiking boots, gloves and warm clothes. (check the forecast... it is Texas, and you may find 80 degrees in January, or the ice storm just as easily. THAT's one of the many reasons we love TEXAS.... unpredictable and fun!
We keep the feeders full so that you always have our four legged friends drop by for a bite to eat and a treat for your eyes. Deer season keeps them a little more timid, but after January, they come back full force, even in the daylight hours.
The Bible says if we cease to praise HIM, that even the rocks will cry out... I'm thinking these crystal limbs seem to be reaching Heavenward... I love it! Nature knows, and we feel so blessed to see things like this so often.
