There are a few things I miss, and actually have forgotten about, like a toasted bialy for breakfast. The taste is just not something you find in Vermont.
The fog was so thick last night, even with my fog lights on I couldn't see where I was. It is the first time ever I felt totally lost, except when I was getting my diving certification in some crazy quarry in New Jersey. I blew out my ears and couldn't ride the elevator at work for 2 weeks. I worked on the 23rd floor.
Anyway, I actually stopped the car on the road just before coming to my driveway, because I couldn't find it! I finally saw a little red flag (my mailbox) and crept over to that side of the road till I saw the indentation where I hoped my driveway was. Spooky!
Yesterday. What a beautiful day. Flying into New York, the pilot took us on a route right across Manhattan to New Jersey, turned around, and flew us right back over the city again. I could've reached down and touched the twin towers. When we took off froml Vermont, the sun was just barely coming up, so I couldn't really see much except a little pink in the horizon. I always think it's funny(odd) to be in such a place as Vermont in one instant, and in an equally exciting but totally different place as New York in the next. Because I was a New Yorker for so long, it seems familiar to be in the crowd, but nice to know I don't have to do it for more than a day at a time.

I can't believe I haven't posted anything for so long! But I remember thinking last week, I just don't feel the need, and then I got busy at work and I had Friday off so here it is Tuesday and la di dah, maybe later.
Gravel. (gripe, gripe, gripe) I have gravel everywhere in my yard and in my house. There must be a better material for pathways, something that doesn't travel with your shoes. Now I'm not complaining, but I wish it didn't spread itself around. The new pathways in the yard look very bare, but in my mind they have they have lovely perenial borders to break up the sameness. Luckily I have a very vivid imagination. Now if I only had the time to make those visions come true.
