New sidewalks in progress

Now we know why our squash plants keep getting nibbled on. The balusters on the fence look like jail but don’t keep this guy in or out.

What remains: some memories from Pat Reaves’s life.

Not a relative that I know of…

I hope you can read the license on this Tesla !

Panda North supplies Brattleboro with a unique New England take on Asian food, or so I’ve been told… I haven’t tried for myself yet, and I don’t regret that unchecked box on my activity list.
It sits on the site of an old steak house, and somewhere along the way an enterprising Panda altered the sign to its current configuration: no steak, tea!!
Some consider the sign an eyesore, but the Town has finally determined that it’s not: the ruling said no maintenance needed.

All of Pat Reaves’ descendants gathered with spouses and a few longtime family friends to say goodbye at Lake Amanda. Thanks to her lakeside neighbors Bobby and Sue, we got to be right on the lake Pat loved to consign her ashes and raise a glass of White Zinfandel.

After the race on Saturday morning, we went to Homestead Farms in Walpole. They are most famous for their cider doughnuts, which are wonderful, still warm when we grabbed a dozen. However, on a healthier note, they also have a you-pick tomato greenhouse. For $1.25 a pound, you grab as many as you want. It took about a minute to fill up a flat: amazing!


Not a joke, actually.
