I have to apologize for being MIA for so long. I don't think I've ever gone this long without posting something. But now that things are starting to warm up here in Vermont (this week being an exception) and I've gotten our community garden plot squared away, I'm sure I'll have more to talk about.
These are just two random pictures I took of Lake Champlain a while back. They're nothing to write home about and don't highlight some of the spectacular mountain views you can see from the shore, but on this day, we came across some bird watchers and even spotted a few Bald Eagles circling in the sky. (I was sorely disappointed that I'd neglected to bring along my telephoto lens.) We're really looking forward to exploring the nearby forests and mountains this summer.
We're finally getting some much needed rain this week, though it might end up being a bit too much. I don't remember the last time we've had a spring this dry. The soil in the raised beds behind our townhouse had begun to take on that grey sandy dust bowl-ish look. Hopefully this is not the start of another wacky year of weather. This past winter was wacky enough.
Welcome back! I am looking forward to hearing more about your new community plot.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen that lake in forty some years! We lived right across from you on the NY side. I'm happy to hear that you have the garden plot straightened out.
ReplyDeleteI want to see some pics!!!!!
Welcome back! We've missed you, and we're looking forward to reading about your gardening adventures (and other adventures) in your new home.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you Thomas, I have been wondering how you are doing up there.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, Thomas! I took something of an unplanned sabbatical myself, and it's nice to reconnect with my favorite bloggers and blogs. We are having the same incredible downpours that you are, after 3 months of almost no rain. As for a wacky weather year, yep, we're having one! I'll be watching for your posts about your new community plot.... looking forward to seeing the wildflowers in the woods as well!
ReplyDeleteNice, welcome back Thomas! New subscriber here and had sent you an inquiry about the chrysanthemums. Unfortunately, I then realized that you have not been 'active' for awhile, so I was getting a bit concerned, haha. Looking forward to get more familiar with your blog.
ReplyDeleteWinter was definitely strange. No telling what the summer holds.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! Hope you are all doing well. :o)
We sure have different definitions of active. I only post 2-3 times a month. Too busy doing other things. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with your new community garden plot.
ReplyDeleteThe Burlington area is so pretty. This week is cold compared to last week. I think the plants are really confused by it all. We got about 2.5" of rain which was just about perfect. The soil was so dry I think that 1" wouldn't have been enough.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you! Pretty photo, can't wait to see what will be growing for you this year!
ReplyDeleteYay!!! You're back! I was just about to email and ask if everything was ok. Looking forward to new adventures in your new home.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! It's always nice to "hear" your voice :-)
