HAPPY VETERANS DAY, with Gratitude...

I am presently reading The Great Silence by Juliet Nicholson, about the horrors of WWI and the aftermath in Britain. Soldiers lost limbs and even faces due to horrific gas attacks and hand to hand combat. Then they went home to a country that had no idea what they had really been through. But from this terrible time came incredible advances in such areas as prosthetics and plastic surgery. Many thanks to those who served both on and off the battlefield, and worked for peace.

Late Day Light on the Birches

I can see cell phone towers from my house

So why doesn't my cell phone work from my house?

Just let it all wash over you...

It's Election Day!

I'll be working at the polls today, then off to the Library for two hours,
then back to count the vote. ☆ ☆ ☆ Remember to VOTE! ☆ ☆ ☆

The candidates are all out shaking hands today...

And yesterday!
Howard Dean and Rep. Peter Welch, campaigned with Peter Shumlin!
As the trio traveled to breakfast spots around Burlington, Dean was the one many diners most readily recognized and wanted their photos taken with.

Happy Hallowe'en!

Trick or Treat!

Hint: It's a hybrid.
