Nancy's Corner

This weekend the Orford Art Group went to the 2nd Dartmouth College Grant. While we were waiting for Robin and Aimee to arrive, Althea and I went for a walk.

We stayed at the management center, the only cabin with a flush toilet. Although there was no electricity, there were gas lights, gas stove and gas refrigerator.

Just as they arrived, it started to rain. After it stopped, we took a ride up the Swift Diamond.

The next day, after dealing with a clogged drain,

we drove up the Dead Diamond.

We didn’t do much art this weekend, but did discover several places we would want to return to when it was warmer and we weren’t as rushed. All in all, it was a good time: good friends, good food.

The Connecticut came through again.

Today was the last day that North Hartland Lake was open. I wish we had another month of paddling there.

We saw our usual array of wildlife: cormorants, great blue herons, eagles, turtles, kingfishers, yellow legs, blue jays, and other birds.
