It is a valuable reminder of people's lives and places that are so different from mine in some ways. The whole summer here in western colorado with less than 1/2 inch of rain. We need not pity but compassion for everyone has a difficult situation no matter the differences.
Another great pairing. Thanks, Terry. My great fear is that Montpelier will end up like one of those New England mill towns, half boarded up because the mill has long since closed and a Walmart sucks the life from what's left of downtown. But Bear Pond Book reopens today -- a spark of hope.

The nice opposables in this post seem to be more the quoted texts than the piccies - hope to see MPR for meself this week.
I really like his writing.
Next week, no rain but temperatures in the high eighties and nineties. Great essay and photos.
Well, it will be good to get some summer weather ... finally. Thanks, Wilson. What are you shooing these days?

Yes, the Bear emerging from watery hibernation is a sign of hope, but so much is lost.
Fabulous pairing and great essay. Thank you.
thank you, david, for the kind words.
