My brother Pete's Little house in Island Pond, VT. He lives there for about 1/3 of the year these days. The rest of the year in Mount Pleasant, MI.
Pete tormenting me with a snowball in May! Go away!
The Upper Falls of his really nice waterfall.
The adorable Miss Chloe being carried by her mom, Wendy.
Those musta been some really tall beavers, Pete! How'd they do that???
We had a really nice mini-vacation in VT. We left Saturday late afternoon and drove to my parents' house in East Burke. On Sunday we went to my brother's place in Island Pond for a Mother's Day brunch. Pete owns 75 acres in Island Pond. He built a little 5 room house there that is "near" the grid not exactly "off the grid". He runs his fridge, heater and light on propane, and has running cold water. The running hot water, internet, and cable TV can either be found at my sister's house in Brownington or my parents' house in nearby East Burke. Pete also has plenty of friends in the area who are willing to let him indulge in their hot water and cable TV (Go Sox!).
After a delicious brunch of scrambled eggs, bacon, coffee cake, fruit salad, coffee, and tea we had a nice hour-long hike on his property. We first headed to the waterfall, which is always spectacular in the spring. I'm usually thinking about how nice it'll be in July on a hot day...
Pete has some pretty busy beavers on his property. We checked out a rather large beaver dam. Then headed back to the house.
Trevor's cousin, Sarah Dole, who lives in Colebrook, NH and his brother, Ian (who was in the NEK from the West Coast) came by around 4 for another nice walk to the waterfall and dinner. It was really great to see them both. Particularly Sarah, who I've known since 1980 when we were teens together at the Fryeburg New Church Assembly. We had a nice visit with them and then headed back to East Burke.
