With our families support, our magic held and finally it was ours. We have since built an acre pond and stocked it with trout, which Ed sells. It has become the paradise we envisioned with a pavilion by the lake, and gardens becoming realities. Many of our acquaintances previously lived on this acreage, with stories of babies born in tents, and the magic and energy that is an inherent part of the landscape. Eco-Cove, a wildlife sanctuary.
Swans grace the lake, bears forage, and even a cougar has visited our meadow.
There are times we feel at a loss as to what comes next. The tranquillity of the pond, the strength of the mountains, the glory of the forests and seasons, the animal visitors and the joy in just being here tells us we are in the right place. And if we can be patient, our part in this magical world will become clear. The Eco-Cove swans, Nicholas and Victoria, are currently nesting. Gabrielle's mother, Patricia, has also built a home on the sancutuary.
