There’s probably no finer swimming area in southern VT than the NEPCO picnic grounds on the southern side of Harriman Reservoir: clean, cold water, few people, and access to miles of shoreline. It’s a dreamy place, with high mountain views to the north and west, where it’s easy to wile away a summer day, whatever the weather. Here, a storm is brewing.

It’ll probably be awhile before I make it out to the Plains states, if I ever do, but this gets me in the spirit. The man here was planting the field by hand, seeds in a bag at his waist.

Larry Auger and an unidentified farmhand making quick work of windrows of hay. The baler, the green machine in the middle, takes up the hay and spits out the compressed bales into the trailing hay wagon. The field was mainly grass with some alfalfa. They were working with some urgency as a thunderstorm with heavy rain was forecast for later that nite ( and did arrive at 3AM).

There’s enough farm and forest land where I live to support flocks like these. A couple times a year, you’ll get to stop or slow down for them as they cross some secondary road.

Looking towards the back porch, ocean side, of a summer cottage, ready to go for the season (see earlier posts – Offseason I and II).

Lake Champlain, (above) a body of water 125 miles long and up to 14 miles wide, has seen record levels of flooding thru much of May 2011. That’s particularly impressive given that data goes back to the mid 1800s. This photograph was taken on an exceptional spring day, when everyone, it seemed, was glad to have a break from the rainy weather.
