This concludes my posting to this blog. I hope readers have enjoyed it. I appreciate the comments and will stay in touch by visiting other blogs (you know who you are).
Who knows, Kate (and Nora, too) will show up in another guise one of these days. But for the present time, I want to just do some writing that isn't under any pressure or in any format.
I wish you all very well.
Regards,
Kate

More






I fancifully called this spot "The Gates of Heaven." It was the entrance to the second high meadow by my apartment where I first lived. The mountain is Ascutney and is a good height for a monadnock. It looks shorter because the meadows were so elevated. I wish my old camera had been better.
I am jumping around. Here are two of the "Wench" as we called her.
Janey milking a goat. Hazen says, "Just get the milk out."
That monster 40 lb. turkey. Don't turn your back on it.
Pictures, at random
Two studies of Hazen
Janey, Ben, and Greta on Essex Hill Road
Janey's drawing of the farm of the Red Cupola
Kitchen of the house on Essex Hill Road (Furry, get down!)
More coming. (Oh, I am bad at this!)
