Someone suggested it would be nice to have a direct link on the web site to weather reports. I mentioned it to Fred, and poof!! like magic, he put it right there on home page. He's getting very clever about this web site stuff! Any other suggestions? He'd love a challenge.
Tom e-mailed me about the water level in the pond being low. Here's what he said:
Some folks may have noticed that the Pond level has decreased to about 2.5 inches below the normally maintained and required level. I spoke with GMP this morning and they are aware of this issue and have closed off flow from the dam to the downstream area. The cause of the problem is the lack of rainfall for the past several weeks. Boaters should be aware that underwater hazards will be nearer the surface and could pose a problem with their travels around the pond.
If you would post this on the blog it may help boaters.
Thanks
Tom
Ok, Tom - the word is out. However, there's really no fooling Mother Nature, is there? GMP, with all their sophisticated computerized gagets and technology, still have to stay tuned to the real world of weather and nature's whim in order to "control" what we may be finding out can't be controlled in toto over the long haul.
Fred and I went grocery shopping this morning in St. Johnsbury and ran into Marcia Moran. Most of you know Marcia - she and husband, Ned, ran the Joe's Pond Country Store in West Danville for about 15 years. Marcia looks great, says she and Ned are enjoying their retirement even more than they'd thought possible. Marcia really likes to keep busy, but even more important than that, she told me she really, really likes to bake. She said she's hoping to get a home baking business going - doing pies, cookies, brownies, sweet breads for folks in our area. She said one of her specialties is chocolate chip cookies -- then after a moment she added, "peanut butter cookies, too." She had that sort of far-off look for just a moment, as if she had just pictured herself in her kitchen surrounded by fresh-baked cookies. "I make a really good apple pie, too," she laughed, as we parted and went separate ways down the aisles of groceries.
I'm sure many of you have missed Marcia's pies at the Joe's Pond Country Store, and you've probably noticed they aren't available at Hasting's, either, now that so many summer folks have gone. But I'm betting a lot of you who are still at the pond will be happy to know Marcia will bake for you at her home. She said you should call a day or so before you need your order, and she prefers that you pick it up at her house, (short drive, spectacular views, especially as the leave are turning), but if you're really in a bind, she can deliver - maybe she'll get Ned off the lawn mower or out of his workshop to help. Anyway, give her a call and give yourself a well deserved break from baking, 684-3907. Perhaps she'd even do mail-order on some items . . . ! Think about it - cookies or brownies direct from Joe's Pond, Vermont. Can't get much better than that. 802-684-3907.
