    2. It hasn't peaked here yet. All my grands have been starting school this week (well the oldest 6, anyway), and it's scary for everyone. In Vermont, the Governor recommended masking but won't make it a mandate. But! Every school in Vermont, except one small school, has opted for a mask mandate! Not so in NH, where their motto is "Live Free or Die." Here in Vermont we call it "Live Free and Die."

  6. River was running at top of culverts when I went to bed this morning. No rain since, so it seems to have missed me pretty much.
