We have a cold, frosty morning, but what beautiful sunshine.  The trees are glistening with white frost - gorgeous.  I took this first picture when there was still a thin layer of frost fog at our level.  We had a low of about two above zero last night, but at this point I think we were at about six above.  Just a few minutes later I took the next picture of the same scene after the sun was a little higher in the sky and the frost was only in the valley.

 

The next picture shows how the frost fog remained over the pond while most of the surrounding hills were clear.  I then took a picture up the valley towards Walden, looking just about exactly north from our living room window. 

Now there is not a cloud in the sky.  I believe we are in for some snow later on today, but for now, things are "lookin' good!"

Some of you know that Butters Restaurant in Cabot is closing today and moving next door to the building that was Harry's Hardware.   When Julie and Walt Ackermann owned it, Julie had a lunch room at the back of the hardware store, and now Stan and Kathy Lincovich will be there with most of the same fare they had next door, but will be part of the developing new space planned by Bobby Searles and his family.  The Searles family also owns the general store in Cabot.  

We wish them well - Stan plans to have the new restaurant/lunch room open by early March, and is in the process of transferring to the new location his license to serve alcoholic beverages. 

We are happy to wish Ben Harris Happy 100th Birthday!  Ben and Rosalie have been Joe's Pond Association members for many years, and still occasionally come to enjoy warm days and sunsets at their camp on Old Homestead Road.  If you would like to send Ben a birthday greeting, their home address is:  66 Dundee St., St. Johnsbury VT 05819.
