Barre, Vermont – Mom’s front yard, 1975
(It was always great to sit out on the front porch or on the grass and watch the sunset, wait for the stars to come out. There were about two acres of grass sloping down to the street with the hills and mountains just falling away to the west toward Camel’s Hump. If you were really quiet you wouldn’t disturb the deer as they came out of the woods to eat the crabapples. As Joni Mitchell said, “You don’t know what you got ’till it’s gone.”)
