‘Diane and I were driving through town this afternoon and we saw this guy standing on the corner… He was still there an hour and a half later. It was great to see someone in the Christma mood
Whatever mood that supposed to be these days 🙂

Tehan and I just got off of a Richmond select board meeting… Our towns recreational parking problems came up again tonight… And Diane and I were both drafted to work on a five person committee to help look at comprehensive solution is to recreational parking throughout the town.… I know it’s not going to be easy… But we would both rather be part of the solution then just complain about it.… Wish us luck
Today Is the solstice… The shortest day of the year… And it was also the peak night for an amazing celestial alignment between Jupiter and Saturn. Unfortunately it’s totally cloudy here and we couldn’t even get a glimpse. Luckily Max and Becky were able to get a really clear view of it and threw a neighbors telescope they got these pictures using their phones.
Pretty Amazing…
More amazing is that it’s going to start getting lighter… And boy do we need it.
Sending love out in the world to all the folks who need it.

Dan and I were both feeling still a little under the weather from our shingles shots… But we knew we’d feel better if we got outside. Today we decided to take the catamount Trail East from Bolton Notch Road.… We’ve known the trail was there but we never found it. Pleasant surprise it was a really beautiful wide trail with no one on it save the tracks a loan deer and some sort of big dog like creature…
The catamount trail shares some of its route with the VAST (Vermont Association of snow travelers) Snowmobile trails.… Well it’s not always peaceful to be hiking or skiing or snow mobiles… We certainly appreciate the care they put into putting these trails in and maintaining them.… We walked about 2 1/2 miles into the woods and it’s always surprising to see the road signs at the intersection of these trails.
It’s truly a parallel highway system in our state that’s only accessible on skis or snow machines… I always think of it like our lymphatic system… The more invisible cousin of our arteries and veins.…
One thing we noticed at one of the ‘major’ Intersections (if you can call it a major intersection when the only person passing through it in the last three days with us)… Was this bin full of trash… It’s interesting to note that it’s all beer cans… Makes you want to be really really careful when you’re out here during active Snowmobile season

Diane and I both felt pretty crummy today… The pharmacist said that would happen on the second shingles shot. We had really sore arms and eggs and a little bit a fever. We’re all better this evening.… We did manage to get out on a hike at this time ‘Kyle was able to join us at a safe distance. She still quarantining for another day. We took a quick hike at Robin’s mountain… It was so beautiful
This mountain is literally our backyard. Less than a quarter of a mile from our house we had this view
Not bad !
