Spring at High Mowing Seeds

In early May, colorful greens are almost ready to be planted out in the trial fields at High Mowing Organic Seeds in Wolcott.

It is very common to see the Vermont state flag flying together with both the Canadian and US flags. It's not quite another country up here, but almost.

Seagull in Newport

As we were sitting along the waterfront in Newport, looking north across Lake Memphremagog at the mountains in Canada, this beautiful fellow joined us for a bit. All of were happy about the gorgeous summer-like weather.
