Only in VT

We get all kinds of weather/climate stuff here in Vermont, sometimes in the same day. Here is Wavy, playing in a snowbank, in short sleeves, with the sides of the greenhouse rolled up for ventilation because it was so warm (in the 60s) and sunny today.
And yesterday I went to another farm to pick up a new piece of equipment -- a barrel washer. The barrel washer will make washing root crops and potatoes a breeze, and will really really cut back on washroom labor. But making the journey to the farm where I picked it up took me over the Green Mountains. It was sunny and in the 60s when I left Peacham, but up around the top Killington and Pico, it was in the 40s and there was still a foot of snow on the ground. It looked like Pico was closed but I think people were still skiiing up at the top of Killington. Too much.

So I hope everyone enjoys the beautiful weather. It is a little tough for us because with all the snow and cold we have had we are about 3 weeks behind on our season, so now we have like 6 weeks of work in the next 3 weeks -- but at least it is beautiful out while we try to catch up!
