escape!

the power sanding has driven us out.

and we would not want wee henry footprints 

on the newly finished floors.

so gretta, henry and i have escaped

to our "bit of earth".

this handsome devil's paintbrush,

standing next to its neighbor,

has created beautiful drifts of color here in vermont.

we also saw spectacular masses of lupine in the rocky medians

of interstate 89.

 clusters of daisies and buttercups

are also in bloom.

what a relief!
