THE RETREAT

Veteran's Day 2014

In Flanders Fields
by John McCrae, May 1915

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

The first snowfall

"Snow was falling,
so much like stars
filling the dark trees
that one could easily imagine
its reason for being was nothing more
than prettiness.” 
― Mary Oliver

Finally, the snow is coming down at the Retreat. Pretty soon it will be Winter Wonderland. Stop by soon and come see the reindeer roaming around. Wear a coat and mittens...Baby it's cold out there.

Winter is Coming

Since Halloween is over, Winter is coming to the Retreat.
