Hello Friends of the Road, I admit the past couple weeks have gotten past me and now we are rapidly approaching our first outing. The early warm weather got my mind on other things and I suppose life just got in the way of the CPRA hat I proudly wear. I hope by now most…

Hello Friends of the Road, How are you all doing? Where I’m writing this now, I’m happy to report that there is finally snow outside. It doesn’t seem like Winter without it. It sure helps the local economy too, so that is good. I’ve been enjoying the football games, have a hot pellet stove behind…

Hello Friends of the Road, I’m writing on the eve of what is expected to be our first significant snowstorm for the season. For those who have moved south and have forgotten, YES, we do get snow this early and often even earlier. Daylight Savings Time has now ended here, and Thanksgiving is right around…

Hello Friends of the Road,I do believe today closes out the Summer of 2022. The daylight is rapidly getting shorter, but there’s still plenty of weather to get out and enjoy yourself. I’ve been seeing tons of events on local calendars, so spin the wheel and pick something fun. This weekend I’ll be at a…

Hello Friends of the Road, I hope you’re all doing well. We got some much needed rain here recently, but we still could use more. The dry weather has certainly strained some gardens and lawns, but thankfully I have municipal water and hearty grass (and weeds). I can’t believe it is almost August already. Don’t…

Hello Friends of the Road, Assuming you are all in the northern hemisphere, it is now officially Summer. For the most part, the weather has been good here lately but we could use a little rain as lawns are drying out and I’ve seen some hillsides are looking a bit brown. With the costs of…

Hello Friends of the Road, With the price of gas, it seems like a good time to stay home and do some historical research, and tend to your vegetable gardens. Outside of a couple early scorchers here in VT, it has been a pretty good Spring so far. I have a variety of stuff for…

Hello Friends of the Road, How is everyone doing? We’ve made it through another Winter. For those not in areas of snow, you don’t get credit for weathering another season of cold, ice, and back breaking snow removal. I’m sure you have other challenges in your area, but no snow patch for you scouts! I…

Hello Friends of the Road, I hope you are all well. Most of my gardens are now set for Winter and I’ve got a suet feeder hung and ready to go. Flags are being picked up at CPR roadside markers now (thank you George and Nancy!) and daylight fades earlier every day. But that all…
