Apologies and Thank Yous

Apologies Wouldn't you know it . . . we move back to Vermont and within a month we are sick. We have one of those exhausting, never-ending northern Vermont colds. Everyone in the house is coughing and choking. These colds begin as allergies because the entire forest explodes in pollen seemingly overnight. But you get a fever and a nasty throat and are exhausted. So the renovation work and unpacking has come to a stop this week. I haven't edited the hundreds of photos I have taken, or organized them on Flickr, and I haven't blogged. If you are one of the people who has kindly request photo permissions, please be patient. I will get back to you as soon as I can! I apologize.

In the photo above you see the chickens when they got into the garage and enjoyed standing on the studs that were waiting to be cut last week. The studs are now up. Attic stairs are done. On the left you see a photo of the small mess of wires that John uncovered in one wall. He has been tracing the electrical wires around the newer addition of this old house and is amazed at the mess that he has found. He is slowly cleaning it up.

Thank you . . . . to all of you who continue to read this and my Photo A Day blog even though there have not been recent postings. I especially want to thank sisters EP of NH and JP of MN. They continue to read and visit both from their home and work computers — often many, many times a day and for several hours. I'm flattered! I am equally in awe of the hundreds of you who visit daily.

I promise I'll be back!
