Communal Living : Day..... have way lost count


Robinson Caruso of the Green Mountains, this is my view as I blog this morning.....

One shoeless t-shirt clad day blends into the next. Yesterday was a "down Internet" day. There is a limit as to how much you can do on line with the plan here, and there are more lap tops than people . There was an old Grisham book on the shelf beside my bed... a lazy, sometimes rainy day spent with my good pal, ( and good Democrat) John.

We lost some members of the commune and gained others. Down seven, plus four, and one tiny tiny poodle.

Yesterday was going to be an alcohol free day.. but really, it would have been rude NOT to welcome the newcomers with a toast, and it was only beer. Was very slack about last nights dinner photos, won't be so today. David made some wonderful chicken on the grill and Dahn and I picked from the garden and the still massive remains of her Dad's Piggly Wiggle raid. Pictures in reverse time order....

A late BDP for Sadie... good cake!
The tiny tiny poodle, giving me the stink eye
What was left of the chicken.. there was more inside
Lisa broght over a batch of still warm homemade lemon tea cakes around oneish... really, life is hard when you are roughing it.
Morning Tai Chi... ( yesterday )

Breakfast for me, noonish, was some hot out of the oven bread that Dahn made with butter...
The highlight of the morning , thus far, has been Ryan and Kian catching the snapping turtle that has been menacing the lake here. The toes and fingers of everyone thank them
They are now talking turtle soup..... really.
