I think they’re my favorite birdsong.

This happened to me last year and it was so frustrating. This year I bought some herbal deterrent stuff (incl mint oil, etc) and so far so good.

I get Derek Thompson confused with someone else too but I can’t remember who right now 😂

If I understand correctly, the farm income is distinct from the household’s other income, presumably off-farm jobs. Sarah specifically says “small *farmers* have a median income of…” (not that small farms do).

Same here, Lorraine! 💚

If you ever decide to visit the one in Stowe, be in touch first for insider tips 😉 I used to live about 1 mile down the road and went regularly.

They are both beautiful… the Stowe location is more remote and private, it’s my preferred of the two!

Believe it or not, there are two Moss Glen Falls in Vermont. One in Granville on Route 100 and another in Stowe. This photo is the Granville MGF :)

Wait, hurricanes are not just a cocktail one drinks while in New Orleans?! Like mint juleps at the Kentucky Derby?!

It is delicious!

“Pernille” new on Netflix. Norwegian. The English dubbing is decent. It’s not as sweet and wholesome as Durrells or Midwife, but the characters are good.

Re: “Those who want the vaccines ‘off-label’ will likely not have insurance coverage for the shots.” Do you have a sense whether private pay will be available for the 25-26 covid vaccines? Maybe dependent on the specific pharmacy or doctor? Thanks :)

I love it. It’s a beautiful and unique ground cover! Sort of hobblebush type habit.

Do you prune it to keep it so low and full, or is that its own thing? The pagodas here are mostly 5’ish tall and much less branchy/leafy. (And it is a nice color!)

Well that’s an interesting point, Mike… yeah.

Sounds like you’re leaving it in good hands 😊

You will have birders flocking to your spot (harhar)

They are incredible looking! So beautiful. Almost Baltimore Oriole like. I love your description of how hey behave. I hope you are able to confirm.

Weeding is the perpetual task. Anytime, all the time.

Hahahaha. I’m right there with you.

Wow, that is pretty exciting! I have not had the pleasure of a Varied Thrush and I will have to look them up!

Happy to read about Henry’s happiness :)

Me too!! I wore a winter hat when I was outside today.

Warmer this week. You’re sure about that?

Agreed! It’s not cool and I hate it. AI is objectionable enough when it’s right. Also this seems to be revealing a really faulty editing/review process at Vt Public.
