A Taste of Vermont Winter...


That's Jessie, she is making her way through the twelve inches of snow before the next twenty inches of snow falls !!

...The "Before" shot of the Rock....

....if you look closely you can see the rock...somewhere in the middle there...

January Fog


It’s January 16Th, the day started in the mid thirties with a heavy fog rising from the cold land. I find it hard to focus on just “being” with how the land is now. I can’t help but dream about what is to come.
There is a big rock at the end of the pond… probably the only rock on the property that was not carried in… I want to clear around it and plant some kind of flowers there. It will be the only flowers out there that I know of.
There is very little bird song this morning. There was one single loud cry from a crow as he flew away from my approach.
Scott’s cat followed me out a short distance but so far is unwilling to move away from the edges of the pond. He waited until I circled back around, complained a bit and then ran ahead of me to the house.

Baki goes "Big"


Baki and his adopted siblings couldn't go out for two weeks while we travelled to Vermont. We had someone stopping in to check on them twice a day... but, Baki didn't get his usual exercise... and probably due to boredom he ate... and then he ate some more. Baki got huge !!

Friendly Possum




















Miss. Possum came to visit below the bird feeder a few days ago. I thought we relocated her... over by Anderson Falls... a lovely little spot where many raccoons and possums find happy homes...
If you read about Possums you will find that they are "transitory" and don't bother relocating them as they will leave on their own in a day or so.
This does not seem to be so... unless... there are many possums in this country!
