This is actually Thanksgiving Eve, but I don't think I'll do much blogging tomorrow. It's been a busy day today - a little last-minute shopping turned into a regular weekly shopping trip so we don't need to go into town again until late next week. We were in St. Johnsbury fairly early this morning - roads weren't really bad, but slushy. The grocery stores were very busy and there seemed to be lots of people in town,
probably doing the same thing we were.We reported yesterday that the pond was completely frozen over. That didn't last through the night. It is still frozen at the north end, as you can see by the photos. The first one was taken on W. Shore Rd. from Gardner's parking area, looking up the pond. Then we
stopped for a minute at our camp to get a picture looking towards the narrows. The next picture is the middle pond, looking at Prevost's on the left. The first pond has open water through the narrows down to the dam where the flow is more rapid. You'll recognize the former school in W. Danville, more recently
an auction "barn," and the low cloud cover. No sun at all today. The pond is very quiet and not very pretty - but with every change of season, change of weather, the pond changes, too. Everything looked pretty dreary, and traffic was moving carefully. When we got closer to St. Johnsbury, the road was mainly wet leading onto Western Avenue. We are expecting more of the same kind of weather tomorrow, but wet, chilly and bleak as it is, we'll have the company of friends and family at our table, a cheerful fire in our little soapstone stove, and we know we have much to be thankful for.On the way home, Fred took a very nice picture of the gas prices at Marty's - the highest we've seen there so far.
Since I'll be getting up in just a few hours to put the turkey in the oven, I'll sign off by saying we wish everyone a wonderful day tomorrow, hopefully with friends and family, and if you are traveling, we wish you a safe and pleasant journey.
