The rain keeps coming, the rivers are raging, and the lake is rising. I’ve taken to going on a quick walk at lunch time or at least making a brief stop on the way home to check out some of the flooding in the area. Today, I stopped at the IBM dam on the Winooski [...]

I was in Washington D.C. early this week and was supposed to travel home to Vermont during the thunderstorms Tuesday evening. The flight was delayed and eventually cancelled which meant I flew up over Lake Champlain at around noon on Wednesday. I was greeted with sights that I’ve only seen in photos from other flooded [...]

This time of year is special in Vermont. Most of the country is talking about how nice it is to have spring; farmers are planting crops and flowers are in bloom. Here in Vermont, we might have snow on the ground or we might have 60 degree days. This week, we had both. On my [...]

Some years, Vermont throws curve balls all year long. Spring is muddy, summer is rainy, and fall foliage gets annihilated by strong wind and early snows. This year wasn’t one of those years.

This past Saturday, I spent the morning at Oakledge Park in Burlington with Courtney, Kinsley, Andrew, and Connor . We had a great time wandering around the park, taking a combination of posed and candid photos. When you have an almost four year old involved, you never know what you’re going to get, but both [...]
Quiet Morning in Vermont

I woke up this morning with a laundry list of tasks to finish. Paint some trim, prep some doorways, patch some drywall, mow the lawn. It’s humid here in Vermont; the gentle rains last night and the morning dew meant that I couldn’t yet mow the lawn. Those same rains left some treasures on the [...]
The Green Mountain Derby Dames have certainly made a splash in the Burlington area over the last two years. They have gone from competing for a minimal crowd in one of the smaller rooms at the Champlain Valley Expo to presenting a double-header bout in the large room. The Black Ice Brawlers made their debut [...]
