Surrounded by the forest, Daphne spent her days peering out the huge front windows of her cottage, watching birds bathing in the bird bath and the deer that would drink from it. She enjoyed counting how many cubs mama bear had following her each year. She loved her woodland garden filled with décor collected over the years and especially the beautiful window boxes her friend Ann helped plant every year. Living in Indian Beach was the perfect spot for her as she made deep, lifelong friendships with her neighbours. She cherished the times her friends stopped by for a chat while they were out for a walk and when she could catch up with family over the phone. She knew all her neighbours and even the names of every dog that lived nearby.
