Happy may day everyone.. It’s been peaceful and uneventful here. Diane is at a Yoga workshop and Gabe is at the baeach with Kristin .. I’ve had the day to myself.. and as alway happens when I don’t have anything to do .. I can’t figure out what to do.. well.. Actually.. I managed to fill the day physically.. but not so much mentally. I dropped Diane off at her Yoga thingy at about 7:30 this morning.. then the dogs and I took a longish run back up in the woods of Honey Hollow. It was typical bizarre Vermont weather.. The first mile and a half was in Honey Hollow.. which is shaded and on the eastern side of a ridge.. it was cold, misty and there was a pretty even blanket of 2-3 inches of snow by the time I got to the top..    when I crossed over to the other ridge to loop back (after placing a samstone by the creek) it was on the sunny side and exposed side of the next ridge.. there it was nearly 70 and steamy… funny

     I came back, dropped the dogs then went out for the yearly ritual of greenup day.. I collected about 2 big garbage bags full of junk between here and the next house down on the river.. I just don’t know what peoeple are thinking when they through stuff like that from their cars…    I found tons of bottles and cans.. paper cups.. tons of ciggarrette butts  I also found bags of cat litter, a beer keg, a dirty diaper , insullation and tons of other detritus…
   It seems this years litteres favor Bud light… and Alamaden chardonnay.. .. someone on the road has a wine probalem.. I picked up  about 20 small plastic bottles of white wine.. Well.. I guess it’s a small step up from beer litter ?

   Yikes.. just saw the time.. Diane and I have a date tonight in BTV.. I’m going to pick her up now.. More later…

Happy May folks
Nite all, nite Sam !
