A New Kind of Farming

A new kind of large and small-scale farming is emerging in our country.  Maybe you've noticed.  This one is one Rt. 7 about 5 miles from our home.

These were taken almost a month ago when the solar farm was completed.  I believe it was the last sunny day we had, since Vermont's sunny days in November and December are far and few between. We have often thought about setting up some sort of solar panel for our house.  As you may have seen in some of the photos around our house, we have solar panels on our pool.  Hopefully, as more interest arises and technology progresses, the cost will come down and make it affordable to anyone. 

Wrap up

This week was catch up at work, and as you can see I haven't posted lately, so here's a glimpse of last week.

My trip to South Jersey was fine, but traffic wasn't.  Having made that trip at least 30 times during this time of year, you'd think I would expect it.  But I got there none-the-less.

I spent 3 nights at my sister JoAnne's house.  Had Thanksgiving dinner at sister Michele's and leftovers on Friday with a game of Trivial Pursuit.

I believe these guys were absolutely thrilled that there was so much food preparation happening.

My nephew Kevin, and his girlfriend Jill, braved the crowds at 1am on Black Friday to stand in line at Best Buy.  They might look perky here, but I know they were pretty tired by mid morning!

I did get to stop and visit with Phoebe and Chloe, which is always fun no matter how short the time.

So onward into the Christmas season we go.  There is snow on the ground, the temperatures are around freezing and there is still a whole lot of roofin' going on.  I'm hopeful it will be done by Christmas...VERY hopeful.
