January Days in Vermont.

1-23-15 VERMONT: We came up yesterday for the first time since early December, and the house and everything else are intact in spite of running out of propane while we were in Tanzania. That situation was handled by our wonderful neighbors while we were ogling giraffes.

There is about a foot of snow cover, quite crusty and iced over in a few spots. Today was fine for snowshoeing around the pasture, as it was about 30° with almost no wind. After we arrived yesterday, a Barred Owl flew out of the woods to perch on a big sugar maple in the sun. He/she posed for about half an hour—another chance for the new Sony.


It was supposed to be sunny today.

Ready for the Arctic? Are those sled dogs?

Can you see the Barred Owl?

There he is...catching some rays.
