I have been away too long.

I have been away from this blog too long. The photo below, of the cold winter just past, says it all.

Today it is eighty degrees. There is a breeze and it is humid.

We cooked a chicken over a wood fire last night, played lawn bowls and drank beer, listened to the ballgame in the gloam of a late spring night. And there were no bugs.

The winter, which seemed so long and so hard and was in our bones almost until yesterday, at least here in Northern Vermont, is long gone now.

Pretty cool season this.
