We decided to take a vacation day and do a little bit of exploring of northern Vermont. After a quick doggie walk… Diane and I pack everything we have in the car to allow for hiking, running, or bike riding
First stop was to drop by the Y cc and talk to ‘Kyle about doggy care .
Next stop is Johnson where we got our bikes up and rode about 14 miles on the lamoille valley rails to trails
It was really nice riding… In the woods and along the river most of the way
When we got back to the car we decided we’d head up to see our friends Lucie and victor. That is always been part of the plan… But we thought we might go hiking too. We were just feeling too lazy. We took the scenic route up there and stopped at a lake near Eden Vermont to have a picnic. The lake is full of frogs and tadpoles and leeches… All very cool
Next stop with Lucie and viktor’s in Richford Vermont. Their house actually backs up onto the Canadian border. It’s such a beautiful place
We sat around talking… At one point we were talking about sharks and I happened to notice a cloud going by… Actually above Canada… That look like a shark
It was fun exploring their land… They have a bout 150 acres. Including a pond lots of berries, goats, flowers, hay fields
And it’s a short shuffle to the actual Canadian border… As always I went up to it… But didn’t cross it out of respect for the law
Around 4 o’clock we said goodbye to our friends and headed home
We love seeing them… We’re gonna come back soon and maybe give them some help on the farm
I got home about 5:30… Got the dogs a walk… And then headed over to Mason for his birthday. He was showing outdoor movies today tonight was Raiders of the lost Ark
Super fun to see her friends there Albiet at a distance
Final stop at the evening was to take ‘Kyle back over to the farm to make sure all the chickens were there. She had chores today. Diane and I got to walk all around the farm helping her look for chickens… They have about 250 of them but they were all closely huddled
What a great full day…
Vermont in the summer is gorgeous… Even during the pandemic
Nite all, nite sam
