Through the Forest Window: S1E3 - "Autumn Reflections (2010)"
In the third episode of Season 1, Terry Kelly explores the fall of 2010 through logbook entries from his family's cabin in the woods of Ontario. As the cabin takes physical shape with pine siding and the forest transitions to autumn colors, Terry reflects on his family's deep hunting heritage and the ceremony held to honor his father at a special spot known as "the blue chair." The episode features an emotional recording of Terry's mother playing "Going Home," intimate moments of solitude while working the land, and the continuation of traditions during the first hunting season without his father. From a Thanksgiving gathering of 54 family members to quiet evenings of stargazing and woodstove cooking, this episode captures how the cabin became both a place of remembrance and a space where new memories could take root.
