Gus Gets Visitors.

2-18-08 VERMONT: We came up yesterday with Lily and two friends, Liz and Cara. Judy drove the three girls and Gus, and I brought the luggage, Nick, Sam and Chloe. Short Hills was busy before we came up. Val, Maggie and Lucy came out to visit Gus, and Alison brought the girls to NJ and visited Gus.

The trip up was quick and dry. It started to sleet yesterday evening, and this morning it was much warmer, would you believe 50’s, with rain. In the afternoon the rain became showers and the sun was in-and-out. The rain softened up all the snow still on the roofs which all slid off those roofs which meant more shoveling to clear doorways. The piles under the eaves have closed out some of the windows. In the driveway we have huge icy puddles. Guess what will happen to those when the temp drops tonight.

The dogs seem to be adjusting to the interloper and are at least tolerant at this point. The weather gods must have been feeling some remorse about all the ghastly stuff we’ve received and, to apologize, gave us a winter rainbow this afternoon.


Maggie, Lucy and Gus.

Snowshoers. [That's a three rail fence in the summer.]

Winter surprise.

Oh shut up, Jason!

Howie: Tell me there's still enough snow to ski! We're coming mid March, remember. Please see to it that the rain stops. Thank you.
