Zipping Right Past Fall

Lunch at the diner with my Gram

 Bear with me while I cast a quick, backwards recap of a few glimpses of fall. I love the moon, this was after midnight on a full moon - all that was missing was the howl of a coyote, but I didn't stay out there long enough to catch that.

My Gram is quite a gal, pretty sprite for 96! We often pop in to the historic Miss Bellows Falls Diner it is #771 from the Worcester Diner Car Company.

can you spot the deer?

 We had quite a dry spell, before the heavy fall rains came. Not sure why, but we are often compelled to see how much water is going over the dam.


An afternoon trip into Bellows Falls, VT. It certainly is a pretty little village.

My Mom is the Chairperson of this amazing event. It is humbling how many survivor stories there are; and sadly we all know too many who were not as fortunate.

Last trail race of the summer season

I walk, while the kid runs

 I love these adventures with my kid, traipsing off to a running event, a cross country skiing event - generally an hour or two from home. The atmosphere is always fun, the competition can be stiff, but fair and supportive of all.

fun junk shop find

 Okay, I have to admit, I might have a problem... I need to declutter my house but if I set foot in an antique or junk shop, I always find something irresistible, and seriously, when would it be found again?

 The red maples in low, wet areas change color 1st. This year wasn't as bright as some years, but always a joy that never grows old. Great fun driving around, taking it all in.

Eclipse from Gramma's porch. One kid viewed it from a welding helmet at work, the other hiked a mountain with friends. They took along homemade viewing materials, but in the spirit of folks that hike, people that had the proper glasses shared with everyone else up on top.
