TCA ~ The Ski Trail

Being it's close to that time of year I thought I would repeat one of my "Toni's Creative Adventures" an old meme of mine that seems to fit in right now. No I'm not bringing back this meme as I have too much going on right now with my 3 blogs. But this one was always a favorite of mine as it is a little magical. Hope you enjoy it too.

The Ski Trail
1.   While cross country skiing through an old country trail I notice a light through the trees ahead. Getting closer to the clearing I see the light comes from a cottage that looks inviting. I remove my skis and walk up the porch steps and knock on the door when - a cheerful looking grandmother type lady with dimples and a sweet smile invites me in.

2.   I step inside to a cozy living room and sitting in a big leather chair in front of the fireplace is - a friendly type elderly man whom I gathered was her husband.

3.   He smiles at me and offers me a seat and a cup of hot chocolate. We talk for a bit and - He asked how I was enjoying my time here and I really was enjoying my time now chatting with the elderly couple but when I glanced at my watch, I noticed it was really getting late.

4.   Happy and warm I thanked them both for their hospitality and going on my way, as I turned to wave goodbye I was surprised to see - there is nothing but an empty field there and no sign of a cottage. "Did I dream all this? Or was it just a magical night that made me feel warm and safe. Smiling I glanced at my watch to find only 5 minutes had passed since I first spotted the cottage. Shaking my head in amazement and wonder I see I still had on my skis. I turned still smiling, I went on my way wondering if I'll ever see the friendly couple again. Glancing down I notice on the sleeve of my jacket a little chocolate stain that smelled very much like cocoa. Hmmmmm...
