Nothing like waking up in a cold woodsy cabin, getting the heat up and watching the sun dance as it crests (and reflects upon) surrounding mountains.
Sundance Resort celebrates the first weekend of autumn with a Harvest Market: Artisans, live music & BBQ.
My favorite, Jenny the Wildsmith…
…inscribes vintage silver-spoons with pithy words & artistry that add new meaning to one’s morning brew.
Further along, a woodturner and an artsy bowl he crafted from walnut and brass leaf.
And, of course, something pumpkin for Halloween…
And then, much later, as the sun dips behind the mountain, there’s The Owl Bar.
You can keep the big city and all its contemporary designs, straight lines, blacks & whites, LED lights.
Because there is nothing like a real wood-burning fire in the hearth and incandescent illumination to warm the soul.
Plus the silver owl on the back of my hat (“the eyes behind my head”) feels at home.
