Campfire fun

So tonight Beth made some really good bean soup with cornbread. Absolutely wonderful, but we'll pay tomorrow :)

Then after it got dark I started a campfire and we enjoyed some good conversation and some mediocre guitar playing, but it was loads of fun. After playing I decided to do a few fake wolf howls for the neighbors benefit. To my surprise from down the hill by the water treatment plant I started getting some response from the local coyote pack. First a couple of yips and barks, followed by the clearest, most classic coyote howl I have ever heard. It was exactly dead on and it was pretty darn close. It was eerie, exciting, and made me shiver and smile at the same time.

We squeezed a bit closer to the fire, continued for a bit and let the fire burn down and then came in. We have begun to carve our pumpkins but will take a break to watch Amazing Race.

Beth and I have both taken personal days for tomorrow and have plans to go somewhere for a day hike. Nothing fancy just some time out in nature. It will be close by... no trips to NY for this.

Weekend









Did a lot this weekend including but not limited to Heading over Smuggler's notch, shopping in Stowe, then hitting the Haunted Forest in Williston last night. Today we relaxed, but made time to pick up our pumpkins. Needless to say puppy is tired.

Creepy

We drove past this right after it happened. Fire trucks were just getting there and the police were just getting the tarps out. We weren't sure what was going on, but predicted it wasn't good. We were heading to the Xmas tree shop.
