winter

I may have to ask the farmer who owns this land, Bub Hubner, if he ever considered painting a high water mark on the side of the barn.  It would be a new measure, I suppose, indicative of both the snow accumulation and the speed of the snowplow.

Amy and her husband bought a house in Wardsboro in 1963;  three of the kitchen doors, it turns out, were decorated by Feodor Rojankovsky sometime in the 1930’s.  She tells the story in the May/June, 2008 issue of Vermont magazine.

This gentleman stands at the front door of the home he was born in, 77 years ago.  We tell some stories, share a few laughs, lament the difficulties young kids face today: “I’m  glad I’m on the backside of my life now..”

Fifteen minutes before the actual “Penguin Plunge”, where these guys and 150+ others will jump into a 34 degree F. ocean, all to benefit the Special Olympics.  Theirs was the most boisterous preparation by far.
