    It’s lush because it’s rained all summer. I’m not far from Cooperstown and I’m glad you enjoyed it.

    I remember clearly that feeling of dropping my 12 year old daughter off at the airport to go to camp in upstate NY. All the mothers were crying, and I was jumping for joy! 8 weeks without our daughter! People probably thought we were evil, but as soon as the plane took off, we ran to the car (probably skipping!), and went out for breakfast. So I know exactly how you felt. And she’s 35 now! How time flies! Enjoy these years while your son is home. They pass quickly.

    It’s been raining A LOT here. July was crazy wet. In fact, as I type this, it’s raining again!
    Better than drought conditions which are happening in parts of Vermont currently.
    Glad you enjoyed your trip.

  • Ruth

    Yep, East Coast summers are the BEST! Especially in NYS. 😀

  • Hilary

    That’s a damselfly!
