⚠️ Vermont Devastated

listener: This is about 15 minutes from my house, where my doctor's office is. 

 The only part that is supposed to be water is the river that flows under the bridge.

Know Your Car Warning Lights

 🤣🤣🤣 I would say which one I liked most, but

I just kept laughing harder and harder! 🤣🤣🤣

Red Elderberry?

I promise not to eat any of the berries until someone can confirm this as Elderberry. 

 

Little Brown Bat

 

This little Brown Bat was lying on the stairs outside our eye doctor's office. 
It was alive, but clearly stressed.  No sign at all of white mold on face or anywhere. 
I told the receptionist at the eye doc's office and she called the Vermont Bat Society for assistance.  They explained that bats cannot take off from the ground, so recommended she put on some doctor gloves, cover it with a cloth, pick it up, take it out to the base of a tree and set it down.  Then walk away and check it in a half hour.  Sure enough, the bat was happily gone!  I could not thank her enough! 🦇
(PS: It's also where Howard and Judy had their doctors offices!)
