AT THE OLD CARETAKERS’ CABIN at the Church O The Pines, the Old Year fittingly bows out with a coating of hoar frost. Time for new days, new dreams, a New Year. But the frost reminds us, there is beauty in all things—old and new, up and down, all around. And a young adopted cat named Koda, child of the forest and still entranced by everything, shows off for Dad, tromping through snow, showing just how fast he can shimmy up a riverbank willow.
