Snow Bound

 Every spring Trish and have trips to Connecticut where I hold week long storytelling workshops.  Last week was the first of the workshops for this year and we met at the Trinity Retreat Center outside West Cornwall, Connecticut.

We had a lovely group of a dozen participants.  On Tuesday evening it started snowing and continued all through that night, all the following day, and most of the night after that.

We met in an octagonal room with windows on all sides, so, through our meeting days, we were watching beautiful snowfall at the same time.

By the time we got up on Wednesday morning, the power was out and the road in to the Center was obscured.  There was enough generator power to run the kitchen, but we had no lights or other power in the rest of the building.  Luckily there was older oil heat that brought warmth to the baseboards and kept us comfortable.  

We had a charming snowed-in time.  We had food and warmth and one another and our workshop time was wonderful.

By Friday all the power was back on and the snow was beginning to melt, so, we could depart with no difficulty.  The timing of the snow fall was perfect for our week.  We are wondering if the weather might arrange the same thing for next time we are here!
