We were walking on West Shore Rd. earlier this week and noticed things are moving right along at Randy Rouleau's work site. It looks as if it's nearly ready for a building to be placed on the foundation.
The Noyes property further down the road is looking good. The lawn at Fillion's that was graded to make access to the Noyes property has been smoothed and is going to look very nice.
In fact, all of West Shore Road is looking very nice. When we got to the Dimick cottage at the corner of Barre Avenue, there was a bird on the water, sort of snuggling up to a buoy just off the waterfront. At first we thought it was a duck, but when we got a better look, we weren't sure what it was. Not big enough for a goose, longer neck than the common loon - we took pictures, and concluded it might be a red-throated loon. What do you think? It seemed unafraid of us, and kept close to the buoy (we think it thought it was it's mate) until we came too close, then it swam away. It didn't d
ive, but we could see the color of its throat.
On the return trip, we spotted a pretty little deer by Randall's mailbox.
Tonight, on the way home from Orleans, we saw a really big moose. We took pictures, but it was way too dark, and they didn't come out. Just now, as I'm typing this, I had a return visit from a raccoon. It stands on the deck railing and stares in the window at me, then stands up so I get a good view of his underbelly. It's a little unnerving when the only sound is the clicking of my keyboard, to suddenly hear a thump and find beady, banded eyes peering at me out of the darkness. I wonder what he's looking for. We used to have one who visited regularly when we lived at camp. We had a small female calico cat at the time, and the raccoon would come up onto the deck and gaze longingly through the sliding doors at her. The cat, "Hideous," always seemed intrigued by the 'coon. We thought it must be love.
We went to hear a presentation about researching on the internet to identify old photos and/or documents, and how to find information about people who lived many years ago. It was very informative and I'm hoping it will help me fill in some of the gaps I'm finding as I go through the paper collection from the Cabot Historical Society. I have dozens of old photos we have not been able to identify - about all we know is that they were probably citizens of Cabot at one time or another. The presenter was John Roberts from Hinesburg, sponsored by the Vermont Council on the Humanities in conjunction with Barton Library, Lake Region Union High School, Orleans County Historical Society, and the Old Stone House Museum. Nice group of folks. I am anxious to get started with my detective work!
