Another Visitor.

10-7-15 VERMONT: My brother Hank was here Monday, Tuesday and left this morning. It was great catching up on lots of things we missed on the occasional phone calls and emails. He helped me get the last of the storm doors up when my back went AWOL. Debbie and John were here for dinner Monday and Hank had dinner with them on Tuesday. We have plans to see Hank and Paula in NJ a few weeks from now.

Today Judy and I drove to Sharon, Pomfret and Woodstock looking for foliage color and found a bit. It’s a pretty drive even without the color with many gorgeous farms. We saw lots of horses, cows, sheep and a couple donkeys with the sheep. The donkeys are the muscle if any bullies happen by. There’s better color in our pasture than most other places at the moment.

New blooms: witch-hazel, cimicfuga.


Billings Farm - always does a great show and has a farming museum worth a trip.

Sheep, plus a couple of grey donkeys. The donkeys defend the sheep against coyotes.

Our pasture with some red...

and yellow and orange.

Apple tree, some of the apples ended up in Judy's pie.
