		<description><![CDATA[I could say that I have been working like a dog, but near as I can tell, dogs just look cute, slobber, and roll over. They don&#8217;t work much, unless of course, they are &#8220;working dogs.&#8221; I love dogs! A better term for what I have been doing is &#8220;working doggedly,&#8221; a quaint turn of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Flashback to the 1950s -
When I was a little kid, say about five years old, my mom was still a stay-at-home mom. My older siblings were all in school. Her day was pretty full, what with visiting with the man who delivered Wonder Bread, the bread to build strong bodies. She also ordered those delicious [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Charlotte Croft sent the following note after having looked at a blog entry a few days ago about the gravestone of Rufus Leavitt, a 26 year old, Civil War soldier who was a member of Co. A. 6th NH. He died in 1865 as a result of &#8220;inhuman treatment&#8221; by his North Carolinian captors.

		<description><![CDATA[Based on genetics and world history, the potato is believed to have originated in southern Peru where it was cultivated by an advanced indigenous population called the Incas, a now extinct civilization. After the Spanish conquest, the potato was toted to northern Europe in 1536. It was welcomed by the poor, subsistence farmers in western [...]]]></description>

Autumn Maple Leaves, collage by Patricia Cummings
A saying goes like this, &#8220;A good woman gives you shade in the summer and warmth in the winter.&#8221; A tree will do the same. The Maple tree is awesome! Not only does it provide shade, firewood, and wood for fine furniture, the Maple yields sap that is boiled [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today, we did something that is always fun to do. We walked through a small country cemetery. I love to read epitaphs. Often, there is some endearing tribute or  religious sentiment on very old stones. On several that we saw today, the words simply said, &#8220;Gone home.&#8221; It is amazing to see that only [...]]]></description>

The man with his &#8220;nose in a book&#8221; is Army Specialist 4th Class James Cummings, caught on camera reading at an Army barracks (early 1970s). 
Reading is a wonderful escape! It transports us to the thoughts, critiques, and views of other people, as well as their whimsy, novelty, and sheer brilliance. A theory held by [...]]]></description>

Moose as seen in Charlotte Croft&#8217;s yard. This photo was quickly snapped by her, through the window. Charlotte saw this particular moose in Vermont. He quickly realized that she had spotted him and went trotting off into the woods.

Charlotte Croft writes:  I took this photo at the Woodstock Terrace on Sunday Oct. 11th.

And I took this shot this morning, Oct. 13th.  You gotta love Vermont weather&#8230; and if you don&#8217;t, just wait 5 minutes.

Thanks, Charlotte, our faithful Vermont correspondent! We love these photos.
Best,
Pat
