Morning Surprise: On a quiet autumn morning, the children have begun their chores. Suddenly, the silence is broken by five mallards flying low through the trees and the children look up in hopes of catching a glimpse of the excitement. As quickly as it came, the moment passes and all that can be heard is the rotating squeak of the nearby windmill.
Morning Warmup: As dawn breaks, a canoe-topped sedan and a trailer loaded down with decoys chug up to Leslie's Blacksmith Shop and Sports Store. Friendly farmers in bib overalls and fancily clad townspeople huddle together in a merry group to warm themselves beside the glowing forge.
Sunday Morning: On this serene morning, all of God's creatures are gathering. The humans arrive in cars and buggies. Deer slowly stir and cows amble toward their morning drink. Suddenly, the calf becomes aware of the strangers across the stream and the animal kingdom slowly begins to stir. High above the church steeple, startled by the ringing bells, the pigeons scatter as both the cows and deer go about their business.
Evening Rendezvous: Visitors have already reached the rendezvous point and set up camp. Now, the remaining family members take one last canoe ride, gliding gracefully beneath the falling sun.
Winter Wonderland: On this magical winter evening, the wind is still and the temperature mild enough for kids to fashion both snowmen and snow forts.
Pleasures of Winter: In this peaceful scene, the children excitedly point out the mallards flying low overhead. The proud Belgians, the warmly bundled family, the crisp country air and the fading sun all convey the essential meaning of 'the pleasures of winter'. We are reminded of a more innocent time when the countryside was at peace with itself and traditional family values reigned.
Hunter's Haven: Over a bridge and deeper into the woods is Hunter's Haven, the perfect spot for some huntin', fishin' and relaxation. An old red pickup truck is loaded with gear and the workshop is loaded with carved decoys. A golden retriever guards them from a gaggle of curious geese who have come to investigate.
