6-23-07 VERMONT: There’s more. Friday morning we saw chickens and sheep at Eliza’s house, and in the afternoon, between showers, we went to Old City Falls in Strafford. It was a big hit, but I forgot the camera. We got home in time to go to the early show of “Surfs Up”, it was nice to see the Dude in a new vehicle. Then dinner at Cusanoz and dessert at B&J and bedtime. Saturday started with a trip to the dump, a visit to the Farmers’ Market in Norwich to find a gift for mom amidst all those cookies. Then home for some wiffle ball and a walk in the woods. Some of us found a lot of mud and needed a bath after the walk and before the solstice festival in Norwich with jugglers, magicians, stilt walkers, etc. Then back to Murphy’s for dinner. Tommorrow, Sunday, it’s back to NJ, and Monday it’s back to San José with me as animal trainer. I’m not sure, but I bet that I’ll be gladder to see the parents than they will.
New blooms: water lily, more roses, more peony, penstemon. The pasture is a riot of wildflower color, but difficult to capture in a photo, but I tried.
I managed to do a bit of trimming, weeding and garden care and took down a small tree by the edge of the pond that fell in. It had one root, giving it the shape of the letter L, and blew over on a gusty day. Rain-frequent showers, but only 0.2 inches more, leaving us dry for the month so far.
