What the...?



We got back to Vermont to find a lawn badly in need of mowing, a garden badly in need of weeding, and a number of small trees downed over a serious set of tire tracks in the corner of the front yard.  There were a few broken bits of a vehicle, but we really have no clue yet as to details.
This is the second time this has happened.  A few years ago we woke to find a small pickup truck hung up in a tree in this same spot.  There were more trees there then so that vehicle didn't get so far.
We had a safe trip back, and for that I am grateful.

    What a mess to come home to. Hate to take time to clean up what others create. Sorry, I hope you summer gets better.

    Glad you got home, from your little holiday.

    Sorry you found what you did.

    Do you report it to the police, and let their labs, go to work on the who-did-it part?

    Happy Midsummer's Eve

    Good grief, are you an a hairy curve or something? Think you need to put some concrete barriers up. That mighty slow them down.
    Got the feeling it was not a sober soul.

    "There were more trees there then..."
    If this keeps up, you won't have any trees there!
    Did the bits of vehicle show any clue of color, at least? I wonder if the vehicle got out under its own power or had to be towed...?
    Such a mystery!
    Maybe it's time to put a few big boulders there!

    That is not a nice thing to come home to. I hate that people do that. We had someone plow through our fence a few years ago. I woke to see a car in my backyard. By the time I got downstairs, the car was gone. The fence was a few months old and cost $600 to fix. Grrrr.

    Maybe you need some big boulders on the property.

    Ah! So this is the original evidence of chicanery. It's all very Scooby Doo.

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
