Boulder Cove Cottages This Winter....


 Who could ask for any more snow? Shelburne County never gets this much snow in the winter. Last year we didn't even go sledding once. I've gone everyday these last two weeks. Of course sledding is always funner when you have a three year old to take you. For me the exercise is good. It makes you feel like you "did something" instead of sitting around the house, inside all day. And for those who have been here before you know what our driveway is like (one massive, mile long hill) so it makes a great sledding hill. As a side note I would not advise anyone to visit us here at the cottages over the winter months if you don't have good snow tires on your car...unless you want to be "stuck" down here at the cottages until the snow melts. We have no problem with that as long as your credit card is good for it. lol.     
There are other things to do here is Shelburne County for those who do not want to go outside. This weekend my daughter, sister and I went to the local show hall, Capitol Movie Theatre, in town. Going there always brings back memories of when I was a kid. It's still the same old place. One of those classic movie theatres where the popcorn is the best; buttery and warm. I swear even the prices are the same. Where else can you go out to the movies for $6.00? We saw the new Disney movie "The Princess and the Frog". The Theatre has a new Hollywood movie just about every weekend. Shelburne also has a live theatre, The Osprey, that hosts new acts almost every weekend as well.  Please see our  events page for more information about what is going on across the county.

And to end on a happy note, Baxter our bunny rabbit has "risen from the dead". By that I mean before Christmas I noticed a large hawk sitting in the trees as I went up the drive way several mornings in a row. After that I did not see any sign of Baxter, our pet Bunny so I assumed "Nature and it's Circle of Life" as usually happens to our bunny population. Yes it is difficult to keep rabbits alive here at the cottages when  you also have a mink, several bald eagles, a fox, the odd raccoon and hawks living here as well (yes these are all animals you can see if you get up early enough and wander the property). So lets just say when rabbits go missing we assume the worst. Until  Baxter came to live with us. Knock on wood. The other morning I looked out at the rabbit area and there sat Baxter waiting for me to bring out a treat. I was so happy. This clever little guy....the predators just can't catch him. And he's tame enough I can rub him as I give him his treat. He'll be going on two winters here this year.
