Distant Snow.

10-28-13 VERMONT: Today I finished the beds around the house, including the daylily bed and started on the veggie bed. I also changed the furnace filters and repaired the outside bulkhead door. Josh and his crew were here today to mow the pasture. It always looks great after a mowing. He might bring calves to pasture here in the spring.

Today we had sun, clouds, rain, snow and all assisted by brisk winds—very exciting. It actually wasn’t too bad except during the snow flurry.

Speaking of snow, I could see both Lafayette, along with Lincoln, and Moosilauke toward the end of the day when things cleared a bit. They are all snow covered. A grizzled neighbor says that when those mountains have snow, our snow comes two weeks later.

I forgot to mention what is still blooming, even if most are winding down: asters, hosta, echinacea, cimicfuga, lamium, witch-hazel, chrysanthemum, nodding ladies’ tresses, boltonia, phlox.


Layafette has a cloud shadow on top, Lincoln is to the right.

Moosilauke has two peaks the higher one is on the left.
