This is the way we thank our Library Volunteers!
The staff and trustees make them delectable treats and the Volunteers get first dibs.

Good Luck today!!

Wanna Race?

Actually, this was a group of local high school students out practicing maneuvers in heavy air (on a windy day) and they did great. We saw them hauling the *no keel* boats in afterwards, spoke with them and sent them our photos of their adventures. :-)

Sunny Days Bee Beautiful!

Flood at the Lighthouse

There is usually a stretch of breakwater visible around this Lighthouse and a full separate breakwater as well, which is presently entirely underwater, due to record local flooding.
That railing between the shore and the Lighthouse is the fishing pier, and it's under water!
The parking lot in the foreground is also covered in water. Amazing!

A Crocus for your Monday...

♥ HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! ♥

Our favourite Garden Center was started in 1894.

= HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO! (circa 1862) = ♥ Ally's Mommy was born 33 years ago today! ♥
(At the time, I was pregnant with Son*in*Maine, who was born exactly 5 months later.)

Record Flooding in Vermont

It's not just that the river is flooding over into the fields,
but that you can see the current of the river racing across the fields!

Lake Champlain

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy.
Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."
~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

It's May Day!

I call this photo: "Artist in Residence" :-)

It's even prettier from the long side of the porch.

It's SPRING: Free the Bulbs!

Last year, I designed the garden, enriched the soil, and bought and planted the bulbs. And dadgummit, I'm going to enjoy them!!! So I shoveled away 3 1/2 feet of crusty, compacted snow and look what I found underneath: bulbs up several inches, sun starved and needing to breathe. How did they know to come up? Wildlife*Biologist*Son says "the snow got brighter." Amazing.

Redpolls! (We need an air traffic controller here...)

KERFLUFFLE!
