Doug's Project 365

My cocktail this evening came with a wee clothespin holding on the lemon rind. Quarter for scale.

Look at me, outside, without a coat today! Also preparing to eat a yummy Po’boy.

At the Trivia Night debut of Team Zardoz (this incarnation of it, I’m sure) and the first-ever trivia night for several of the team members, we came in second place and won a $15 gift card!

This bunny has been sitting in this spot, between our patio wall and fence, for the last hour or so.

On this afternoon’s nature walk: this raven was being yelled at by crows. I was lucky to get a couple shots before it flew off.

I also saw about 100 mallards taking advantage of the open water on the river.

 

Evidence of beavers along the river in Stowe. And from the size of the tree they’re working on in the background, quite ambitious ones.

Some other photos from this morning:

After a hard day of skiing, my plan for the evening is sitting in front of the fire with my book & a beer.

We had breakfast at The Octagon, ski lodge at the top of one of the Stowe lifts. The food was good (and the coffee necessary) but the view was better.

We have what I think is a praying mantis egg case in one of our bushes.

A local brewery is moving in to a new space right across the street from my train station. They soft-opened their taproom this week and I stopped in for a beer on my way home this evening.
