Just For A Day

Amanda and I went up today. And it was amazing! I hadn't been up in over a month and Amanda hadn't been up in close to 5 months. Too long.

It was beautiful today. Cold, a little sunny, and flurries. We got there, started a fire immediately in the fire pit, laid some stone around the concrete blocks and drip edge, took a walk around the trail, and finally fixed and re-stocked the wood shed. Chris and I originally built the shed backwards so we had to just switch the backing from one side to the other. Easy enough, though Amanda was pretty cold and had some frozen toes by the end of it.

Amanda had also not seen the damage since Irene and there are definitely some memorable images, most notably two pieces of steel that previously were part of a bridge that were bent literally in half and moved by the power of raging water.

Amanda also met Lisa, our friend/ owner of the local coffeeshop, where we stayed and talked for probably close to thirty minutes. Vermont.

Unfortunately, our camera died halfway through the day so I was only able to get one picture, and an unmemorable one at that. Too bad, because when the light of the mid-day sun was out and the snow was falling, it was pretty incredible.
