On hillsides of flowing grasses, visitors come to watch the glorious Smug sunrises and sunsets although often low lying clouds and fog mar the stunning view. Trails wind down the hills around weeping willows trees beside trickling streams to the shore beside the ocean.
Woodpeckers apply sharp taps to the sturdy trees in the interior of Smug. Visitors take long walks through the winding trails at dusk and dawn and wander down the embankments tossing sticks and leaves into the stream to watch them glide and chasing chickadee and bluejay song.
“Sunseekers and flâneur travel here,” says the Guide. “For the natural beauty.”
Artists make sculptures out of Smug rock, sand, and leaves.
In the center of Smug sits one Confident House, wherein all are welcome. Here pancakes are served with syrup taken from the Smug trees. The sturdy house made of sticks and leaves withstands all weather.
"It can be difficult to find in the fog and clouds," says Miss Doe Friend. "But warm, cozy, and an artistic, natural delight inside."
The House Confident appears small, but expands its many rooms, stories, and upper landings when needed.
"I saw its many layers and rooms, but loved it best when it has small and focused on the kitchen and hearth," said Miss Doe. "The fire cast light and warmth, but the sticks within did not burn. The wood of Confident is everlasting, smoke-free, and smells deliciously of pine."
"I felt as if we lived in a land of long ago where such things were sacred or scarce," muses Miss Emeline, not quite emerging from her own thoughts. "Oh, and the sugar cookies!"
