Jakobi now wants to snowboard so she grabbed a board from the shed and a pair of boots from the Long House and hiked a bit up the sledding trail to begin.

up on treehouse hill
the winter home tucked in between ridges
We have lived beneath the shadow of Tree House Hill for 10 years but it wasn’t until this past fall that I started to pay attention to it. Sure, I’d been up it a few times but since we completed the tree house this summer I have hiked regularly to the top. It is the beginning (or end) of a short beautiful sunset hike that takes you up to the clearing on the neighbors land where there is an expansive view of the Worcester Range and the sunset. You can then continue through the clearing to the top of an oxbow in the creek, descend a small spur of ridge to the creek and end up at the bottom of the waterfall then continue down the creek to the house.
Barkwood the Hemlock
There are some beautiful old hemlocks on Tree House Hill some overhanging the steep slope down to the house and some on the pond side of the hill. From the top in the Fall and Winter you get a 360 degree look through the leafless trees of the various ridges our homestead is tucked amongst. You can also see both ponds and at sunset on a clear day the light streaming through the dense hemlocks puts you in the midst of a forest cathedral.
Hobart Creek is what I’ve named the creek outside
