Sunshine.

10-9-11 VERMONT: Four days in a row without rain. The ground is still soggy and wet. The water table is probably up to the grass roots. The fall color gets better every day. It was in the eighties this afternoon.

Travis finished on Friday—great job. Saturday I re-built the field stone steps and cleaned the clapboards and base board trim with bleach to remove all the mold. Today I stained the clapboards with the grey stain that Judy likes, and tomorrow I’ll do the white trim. Judy and I also put away all the outdoor furniture and the boat.

I have to thank the dogs for getting me up at the COD this morning, about 6AM. If they hadn’t, I would have missed a nice sunrise.


Sunrise. Thank you, dogs, for getting me up so early.

Our red maple has gone from mostly green to mostly red since we've been here.

We have color in the pasture....

.....and on the hills.
