More rain today but we are unfazed as the water beads off our newly restained deck.
We’re #1
Yesterday’s torrential rains created a bonanza for roofers and handymen today.
Cuter even than baby skunks
Baby skunks are waaayyy cuter than I realized. They look like they have a sheepskin rug tossed over them.
Still, they will probably have to be relocated to skunk heaven.
Unashamed
Anti-inertia
The property of a kitten at rest to instantly return to a state of motion.
It’s more than OK to let your inner fabulous out with pink duct tape when your hand-me-down LeSabre springs a headlight.
Home sweet home
We have it pretty good here in Brattleboro: I don’t have to fly to France to live in a place where I can walk down the block to get fresh bread and croissants. Now, if only we could have a place where bread and wine were available at French prices and just about everything else was available at US prices.
Samuel de Champlain
Every conversation over here involves some amount of “where are you from?” And while the average Frenchman knows a bit more about American geography than we know about theirs, still few really know anything about Vermont.
So, after saying Northeast, close to Boston, we say it was colonized by French explorer Samuel de Champlain who also gets credit for Québec. Blank stares.
Now I have proof… he really exists!
This is why.
