BTW, If You're Planning a Vermont Vacation in the Near Future

Bring your parka and rain gear.

It might be late May, but it's been cold and gray and raw. We had a few days of relative warmth early in the month but since then, it stays around 50 tops and much worse on the very wet days. Even the black flies and mosquitoes are wearing flannel (I don't happen to own much flannel but I'm still wearing the same three layers of clothing near Memorial Day that I did in early March).
