green can be cool and friendly-like

Tomorrow morning I start the last eight weeks of my educational career. That is, until I get bored and get another degree. But I haven't had time off from hard-core school for a few years now, and I might enjoy the opportunity to just work and read what I want. 

Oh how nice it will be to read.

My parents are joining us this weekend in beautiful Vermont. Although they missed the blossoms, they certainly won't miss the GREEN. It is everywhere. And for someone like me who thinks no day is complete without seeing a little green, it has been quite lovely. It is right in that perfect time when the nights are cool and they days are mild. You know, the time before it gets so hot I have to walk to the post office four times to get out of the house, call my mom while laying face down on the floor, and take a cold shower while waving my arms madly in the air while ahh-ing "Memory" from Cats (see earlier post). 

Don't worry, it's not to that point yet.

Our neighbor had these beautiful blossoms a few weeks ago. They're gone now, but they have found a good home as my desktop background.

This is one of my favorite houses in South Royalton. It looks like each of the three little pigs got to make a wall...and then for good measure put a pile of dirty mattresses by (one of) the door(s). 

Vermonters do have a hard time throwing anything away.

We're kind of kindred spirits that way. I only threw away my old AP Euro study guides a year ago.
