Fresh snow on spring fields.
A green field with a few Canada geese, with snow-covered evergreens beyond.
Green April fields with snow beyond.
A green field with snow covered trees beyond, and an up-sloping white field in the distance.
Green vs. white (April in Vermont)
Looking up at Vermont sugar maples at twilight, before leaf-out.
The solace of trees.
A dog is a wonderful, steadfast companion. Who will be the end of me.
Tracks in mud.
Early mud season, continued.
Snowy country road. Or: White Country Old Road (to include an oblique music reference).
Vermont Spring.
You could re-share this every X days and I would just stop everything and look at it, look into it. Jeez.
Frozen tire tracks in the mud.
Early mud season in Vermont: sometimes it’s flash frozen.
Snow falling on a fallow corn field.
Canada Goose and dog prints in a fresh dusting of snow on the edge of a dirt road.
Five Canada Geese, lined up in a row, sitting in a fallow corn field and begrudgingly enduring a minor snow squall.
After the false Spring, more snow.
Vermont Signs of Spring: To quote Thin Lizzy, the geese are back, the geese are back, the geese are back in town again. And you can tell from the audio that they are angry that the big dog in the Wookiee suit still lives here.
Black and white silhouette of trees and distant mountains, looking east before sunrise.
Porch view, 6:25 AM in greater Adamant, Vermont. Daylight Savings Time again. Yawn.
Vermont Signs of Spring: snowy path gives way to deadly ice-sheet-path gives way to squishy glimpse of future yard.
Same dog, same road, same barn. Same March, same Vermont.
I get a weird envious feeling when I see a house jacked up like this.
Goodnight moon. Goodnight Vermont. Goodnight old barn with the moon.
It’s been a winter.
Interesting look to that tent. I guess that’s what a girls tent looks like.
Montpelier by night.
Montpelier by day.
Montpelier, Vermont, 6:30 and 6:30.
Sugarhouse at dusk. Too soon for sap runs.
A dirt road in the wintertime, facing East toward the morning sun.
A narrow, unplowed winter road lined with trees, illuminated by headlights, 5 inches of fresh snow on the ground, a couple of other tire tracks indicating the driver was not the first one out this morning.
Vermont commuting: sometimes you get out there before the plows do.
And for finally using that old gift card that’s been stuck to the fridge for years on a (totally worth it) meal for two that cost more than my rent for a month in 1988 in Seattle.#VT #HenOfTheWood
In praise of the smallest cup of Almond Creme Fraiche ice cream, whatever that actually means (are those flavors or ingredients or both). Also, in praise of bathroom vestibules staged like something from a Willy Loman sales trip.
Predawn sky, distant mountains, tree trunks in the foreground.
Leaving for work, 6:24 AM.
Horizontal bands of truck tracks in snow.
Cut-Rate Vermont Rothko.
Vermont sunrise.
Vermont sunrise.
Good morning, from greater Adamant, Vermont.
January in the north country.
A snow-covered Vermont dirt road in trees, in morning light on January first, under clear skies, with long shadows crossing the road at an angle.
A snow-covered Vermont dirt road stretches toward the horizon, empty fields on both sides of the road, a barn and farmhouse in the middle distance and the Groton Range of mountains farther away.
The long road of 2026 begins. “This Year,” by the Mountain Goats is today’s ear worm. Looking forward to 2027, to be honest. Cheers.
You’re an impressively quick draw with a Sanborn map!
A squarish facade, a snowy front lawn, a sign over the door reads “Herald Office.”
The Herald. #LocalNews #Randolph #Vermont
