Winter In The Hole

Mid winter has set into the Hole In The Wall Recreational Area.

It awaits to waken in the spring with the sound of the little ones playing in the

alders and on the sand hill.

The Fire Pit is covered, the Gazebo still standing under the stress

of the heavy snows, waiting for the sound of laughter and stories being

told around the fire of popping firewood.

Soon, it will be time for it to come to life, fresh flowers being planted

in areas that flowers have never grown.

The development of the area has been slow, however, compared

to the waste dump of tree stumps and trash that filled the area

three years ago. It now holds memories of fun times and new found friends

which the little ones will carry forward in their lives.

With time, improvements will be made, but they will never be completed

as there will always be another project to complete,

just like another memory to cherish.

Perhaps, some day four cabins will be standing in place

and the Christmas tree in the foreground will be brightly lighted

as we celebrate a Christmas at the Hole In the Wall.
