Here's what some of the folks who have stayed behind to enjoy fall at Joe's Pond have been up to: 

Last Saturday evening the Elks Club hosted an event for the Barre Rotary, "Dancing With the Stars & Silent Wine Auction."

I'm sure you'll recognize some of these folks who joined Bill and Diane Rossi for an evening of great food (I believe steak and lobster were on the menu!) dancing and bidding for special wines.  Diane came home with a case of wine - not sure if others in the group bid on any.  This was a special evening of dining and ballroom dancing - lessons and then a contest.  I haven't heard the results of that, but there should be a posting, with more photos on the Rotary website within a few days.

In the meantime, our nice weather holds and even though we expect rain tomorrow, the temperature is supposed to be moderate, at least until the weekend when there may be scattered snow showers in the higher elevations.  We'll see how that goes.

Fred was in Danville this morning to get our winter tires put on the car.  He also had to go to the post office to send out some Ice-Out Contest tickets, and took this picture along the way of the Green.  I thought it was really nice with all the sunshine and blue sky.


I took my camera with me this noon, just in case the clump of milk weed was still there - and it was!  Just another way to enjoy late fall in Vermont!
