Another Lazy Dog Day

 When you come to Vermont, chances are very high that you will have macaroni and cheeses for dinner! Seen here in the before and after phase.

 This is an "apple". From an "apple" tree in the backyard. Almost looks real!

 It's just like the bible done tole us! The mushrooms shall inherit the earths!

 Rainbow at Glen Lake in Vermonts. Purdy as always.

 We finally figured out what was suckin the juice out of our outside juice-box! Some kind of juice-bat!

 View from the Appalacio Trail near Clarendon, Vermont.

 We continue to build up our Chipomunk army. This one is probably the best trained, as you see!

Woodchuck, chillin' in the barn!

Fall Ahead

 "Thundering Falls" just off the Appalacio Trail near Killington, Vermonts. I couldn't get a good picture cause the dang water kept moving.

 There are even rules in the woods here! Respect wildlife, for your health!

 On the Appalachian Trail near Killington... Who knows what Trail Magic is? I can only assume it was free weed! Oh, you silly hippies!

 Our resident marmot. As seen here, I caught the woodchuck peeing!

 Squirrel drinking out of the bird bath?

 Yup!

 Missing trash pickup... :( In the Vermonts you has to get rid of your own damn trash.

 Why have one donkey when you can have three?! Dronkeys are a man's best friend. Near Florence, Vermonts.

 Pigs from the Foxcroft Farm "Harvest Festival".

 More Foxcroft pigs... and one big Mother.

 I've often wondered, where is this Land of Milk & Honey? Apparently the folks at the Foxcroft Farm think they have all the answers. Well, I still don't know... but I don't like milk; and I think honey is sticky.

 That sure is a lot of prumpkins! Be careful when you're cuttin' them up! It's always sad to see so many kids missing fingers. How will they count? With their minds?

Again from the Harvest Festival... I can't really explain this at all. Maybe this table was for the bad kids. They'd learn to behave after eating an apple with a burger flippy thing!

Rabbitch Season

 The animals are photographed often enough that they've begun to pose...

 Strip-o-munk?

 The internet's most amazing hair.

 View of the Rutland "Airport" from the Appalachian / Long Trail near Clarendon...

 The Rabbitch relaxes after a long day...

 A spring peeper... in the summer! Will the global warming madness never end?!

 Thanks to the Craig & Stacey we finally started putting the floor down in the "library".

 Almost done!

 I got to use this! Saws are fun.

"Finished"! Actually it is not. Still have to do transoms in each door, trim, paint, molding and clean the damn windows.

Next stop... Gaysville!

 These days, if you aren't in Gaysville, you probably wish that you were.  It wasn't so "groovy" when I was twelve!

 Not having children of our own, on the occasion that we "borrow" one (like Noah here), we have no idea how to properly care for them.

 Our very own "organic" vegetables. An unyun, pees and Toddy-taters.

 Back to New Jersey for Taylor's graduation party! Conratulations Taylor!

 The kegerator! So many memories!

 Land shark!

Back in the Vermont... Mushrooms is crazy!

 Shelly practicing the dark arts to get a fire started.

 A lazy Vermonts afternoon!

 I call this plant, "The Prickler".

The Wallingford Cemetery. Why not come visit?.....  Forever!

So I decided to hike the trail to Little Rock Pond. It's high summer which means everyone is trying to get either the Appalachian Trail (over-achievers) or Long Trail (under-achievers) off their bucket list!

This is the Little Rock Pond. I met a bevy of hikers on the trail; some stunk and some didn't. It was a good mix.

Newts are real! Unlike the Seven Cities of Gold or Trickle-Down Economics. Who knew? They may be real, but that doesn't mean they aren't lazy. Am I wrong?

View of Little Rock Pond from the Little Rock. There were rumors of treasure on the island from a band of forest pirates. I would have looked for it myself but there just wasn't enough time.

That's the "Little Rock" near the bottom left that gives the pond it's clever moniker!

I'm not sure why, but I love "captain obvious" signs like this. The sign is on the Little Rock itself, near the 30 foot drop to the rocks below. It reads "no camping". Admirable restraint to not make it "no camping, stupid."

There sure are a lot of signs off the beaten path...

The trail marker. Nature's way of saying, "this way, jackass."

Trail fruit! To eat or not to eat? I guess it depends if you remembered to bring the toilet paper... or not.
