Spring is Kinda Here

Well the sun came out in Ripton today.  For a short while anyway.  I said goodbye to Bauer and headed back up to Deacon Hill Road.  Here are some pictures of Bauer.  You can tell he is really sad to see me go.

Bauer asleep.

Bauer waking up.

Bauer fully alert.

I went for a hike / run up behind the house.  You can get on the Burnt Hill Trail, which is a sideshoot trail that eventually runs into the Long Trail near Breadloaf or the Norske Trail, which is the XC ski trail that heads up to the Snow Bowl.  I went a little ways up Burnt Hill and then puckerbrushed over to Burdick Brook which runs off Breadloaf Mountain and right by our house.  It is more of a river this time of year and I got some good shots and a video which I will try to post.  (Thanks for the camera Mom, I'm having a blast with it.)

You are here.

Burdick Brook

It was great to see Grady this weekend albeit for way too short a visit.  We got to have a nice visit as we waited for the 2:09 train which finally pulled into Port Henry headed south around 3:30 on the Monday after Easter.  Speaking of which, we had a very successful Easter Brunch at the Inn.  Hope everyone had a good one filled with chocolate bunnies, hidden eggs and joy!

Love you all.  Peace.  Peter
