Remembering 9/11
Here we are on the day of the 10th anniversary of 9/11. It’s hard. I haven’t been able to watch any tributes or remembrances about 9/11. It’s odd. I didn’t lose anyone so it didn’t hit close to home but in many ways, it did hit close to home. It’s been said over and over […]

Weekly Photo Challenge: Textured
The Weekly Photo Challenge for this week is: Textured I wasn’t sure which one to go with so I put both pictures up. In the evening sun, my camera isn’t doing a good job of focusing. Close-up of rings of a fallen pine tree. It was cut with a chainsaw a few days back and […]

Hurricane Irene paid a visit.
Irene really threw us for a loop. We’ve been through storms like Bertha, Floyd, Fran, etc… Normally it’s the same story. Just a lot of wind, rain, and then we spend the next day raking up all the fallen branches and then pray the lights come back on later in the day. We lost internet […]
Hurricane Irene and Writing
I tried to deny it as long as I possibly could. With every update the projected path kept moving further and further east. I was so sure that by the time Irene even came close, she’d be pushed off to sea and we’d move on… It seems now that she is coming. With the local […]
State of Vermont
The Daily Post asks: Have you been to where your parents were born? Have you been to where your parents were born? What was it like? If you haven’t been, describe how you imagine it to be. ————– Yes, I have. Many, many times. My parents were born and raised in Vermont. It seems practically […]
