I was helping someone prepare for his move to Spain earlier in the Summer - after setting up his new bank account, the bank manager introduced some of the bank's products, including a comprehensive health plan - no co-pays, no exclusions, flat yearly fee of about $2700 for a 65 year old dude!?!?

I always come away from a trip to Spain, in mild shock at all the hugging and cheek kissing that goes on in the course of an ordinary day in Valencia - far more friendliness than I have experienced in Vermont in 25 years, where "cold" isn't primarily a descriptor for Winter weather.

Dude! - bon dia!
we did a drive to Holyoke Mass today,
from the woods in Vermontia and back,
stopped to visit with Ricardo and have a minute of show and tell.
We slowed to watch a huge black fisher bird of some kind, circling.
Brilliant skies, pleasant drivers, & no active speed traps - priceless.

- we have a small chalkboard on the porch for visitors to write a note on if we aren't in
- one day, I walked outside to find a young girl of about 10 or so, who was writing on it. She had picked some flowers and was asking for a bag for them, she thought it was an iPad
- I will never get over it

you are right. I love the support he is getting from all corners.

a Tuesday irrelevance

she wore a simple cloth dress and a beehive hairdo of some kind, (an upsweep that made her look like that old sorority sister who never leaves the dorm), right?

I like the way there is a nice video of her at one of her first campaign rallies, promising to only serve once, and to not run again - good times.

and. what's with the forever frosted tips?

I will spend National Wildlife Day trying not to spoil our resident Woodchucks.

4) I reached his temporary vehicle into the flowering plants before releasing him, and he took off like a shot in a grand spiral up into the fresh air.

3) through the busy dining room, through another, past the busy entry vestibule with waiting line of people, across the busy veranda populated by round tables and lazy chairs filled with people, down the granite steps and into the garden.
Thinking he might be exhausted ...

2)
I sat by the window, where a huge Dragonfly soon came seeking a way outdoors.
The waiter said that he (the waiter) needed help to work the window (double paned an probably painted shut anyway), so I managed to catch him (the Dragonfly) in a water glass, covered it with a napkin, and walked him

1) We met up yesterday for lunch at the new location of the Putney Diner, now set in a grand old home, the main rooms have been renovated in a way that reveals the huge timbers revealed by removing the old ceiling, while leaving many original details delightfully intact - it's a wonderful space ...

part of one of the door knockers, the hand holds a two faced, human head, a Janus of sorts - more pics later of the new litter in a week or so when I get to pick them up finally!
