A Winter Evening

 

The snow clad mountains turn red as wine
As the day gives way to night
And the lake reflects the sinking sun
In shimmering waves of rosy light

The winter weather is achingly cold
And the young man ‘neath the trees
Is eager to get home, but still he pauses
To admire the sight he sees

He watches until the sun has slipped from the sky
And purple twilight has pushed aside the day
Then turns and mounts his horse
And continues on his way

He smiles as he travels through the moonlight
Knowing there’s not far to ride
Until he’s home, warm by the fire
His family by his side

Home and family, they mean so much
Especially at this time of year
For it is now December
And Christmas is almost here

So as the young man arrives home
And joins his family inside
I send you compliments of the season
Have a wonderful Christmastide.

On the 24th December 2018 the Bonanza Universe lost one of our dear friends and writers.  Kathleen Pitts (KateP) was a prolific writer of Bonanza fan fiction, a familiar name throughout most of the Bonanza forums where her stories are posted, read, and enjoyed by so many for so long.

Born in Bristol, England, UK Kate was married with two children and grandchildren.   She was a founding member of Bonanzabrits and eventually became the Moderator for that forum where she kindly led many to write and enjoy everything Bonanza for many years.   She was kind, patient, and always encouraging to fans old and new.

Sadly three years ago she retired from Brits and from writing when she was diagnosed with cancer.  We are more than grateful that so many still have the advantage and pleasure of reading her stories here on Brand, as well as other sites for Bonanza fanfiction.   KateP will live on through her stories, and from the many friends she made over the years.
