Blowing Snow

Christmas Decorations with a little help from Winter. Such a beautiful morning.
Blowing snow and 50 mile per hour winds, every crack in the stonework at Gideon is filled with white.

This is why we love winter.

Decorations and Snow

Joy, joy, joy. A dusting of Snow on the ground. We are in the process of decorating for the holidays. The coffee smells quite good this cold morning. The fireplace heat feels warm.

Afternoon tea is special this time of year. Scones and Gingerbread with your Earl Gray or Darjeeling. Back to your room to ready for dinner. Then dine in house at Restaurant G. Please join us. You are always welcome.
