Happy Gap



That’s how I heard “Appy,” for Appalachian Gap in Vermont’s Green Mountains.
These are from last summer. I hate to think what the route’s like now, after the recent record-breaking flooding.

Full moon rising into clouds

This is how the rising moon looked from across our street last night. The reflection is in the bay between us and Campobello Island in New Brunswick, Canada. Some of those lights on the island are moving traffic.

Sitting down to do our annual donations
Rather than making most of our charitable contributions ad lib during the year, we’ve adapted a new strategy since moving Way Downeast.
This is the time of the year when we decide what we’re supporting and then make those payments.
The process means deciding between giving smaller amounts to a wider range of organizations or instead sending somewhat larger amounts focused on a few recipients.
Mailing those checks off always feels good, though we also wish we were sending more.
