Dearest
Readers,
T’is
the season for winding down and packing up. Apples and leaves are releasing
their hold on the trees.
Vermont hummingbirds are feverishly fattening up for
their two thousand mile journey to Central America,
and I’m letting go of this
rural life–simultaneously filling up on favorite Vermont-y things before my
3,100-mile trip to Portland Oregon next month. I’ve been hiking local trails,
 |
| Cecelia Kane and Etta James atop Devil's Hill overlooking the North East Kingdom of Vermont |
 |
| About to walk my favorite snowmobile trail (in the summer) up towards Cow Hill_Peacham Vt |
eating regional treats,
 |
| Maybe my last maple creamee (Vermont lingo for soft-serve ice cream) |
re-visiting museums,
 |
| Michael Beale and I at Keith Sonnier installation_Hall Art Foundation_Reading Vermont |
seeing cousins,

and art friends.

I’m compiling a picture file of my new Peacham friends and acquaintances ,
 |
| Barbara Hegenbart_fellow walker and librarian |
 |
| Tom Galinat, Peacham Town Clerk |
 |
| Lorna Quimby_Peacham historian |
 |
| Rachel_H.S. student at St. Johnsbury Academy and regular coffee hour attendee at Peacham library |
and
inserting my selfie-self in the historical landscape.

I’m targeting
the end of September to finish two new paintings in my studio. Here's one–

| Me with Falling Leaves No. 4 in progress |
Maybe I’ll walk
the Vermont corn maze near here with Cynther, my friend and landlady, if I have
the time.

One regret: I’m sorry I did
not finish my woven-stick hut in the field, but I leave it in Cynther's good hands for
re-purposing.
