The amazing gourmet chef/owners, Patrick and Karl, provide endless pies as one of the guest amenities. These are placed with love, fresh and piping hot, throughout the day on the ancient oak sideboard . When I was there last year, there were (and I ate more than my fair share of) sugar pie and blackberry pie and coconut cream pie. Our second day there, in the frosty morning, the weather wasn't exactly birding weather - at least for this Africa-FL girl. The quote of the day by those who braved the cold was recorded later as being, "But we saw lots of birds and there wasn't any snow on the picnic table where we ate"!! I stayed at the Inn that day, and ate pie and watched lovely, local birds scramble for their allotment of daily seed on the frozen feeder just outside the warm, cozy dining room. <br /><br /><br />That was a "sun on one side" day, I think. The snow could have really ruined my 'plans', but choosing instead to bask in the sun which there was in abundance inside by the pie, gave me a memorable, comfortable day. Sometimes we love but are not loved in return. In the loving tho, there is sunshine to be found. <br />Exploring this truth more deeply each day, <br />Simply offered by one who is learning to at least enjoy the sun there is, on the one sideBetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07519780842038265118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273254044244288165.post-80153379149562052302011-02-19T14:27:03.312-08:002011-02-19T14:27:03.312-08:00*Tonya... coconut cream pie... mmm.
