A view of Springfield, Vermont - this was destined for a client's place, but they have disappeared and now it is an orphan, boo hoo, har har.

Una vista del pueblo, en una altura deliciosa.

Springfield Vermont is High and Dry after Irene passes by (but barely) - but our neighbors suffer the wrath of the storm

The damage is done. Here are three videos by videographer youtube.com/warlegacies, showing a sad moment in local history, the destruction by Irene of the now sadly missed Bartonsville Covered Bridge.

Here the river surges, threatening the old wooden covered bridge


Here the river quickly tears out the covered bridge


the river runs on, driven by Irene

This is a link to a two and a half minute video piece shot and edited by artist videographer Edward Huse, featuring a calm quiet field with birds filling the air with song and a cat overwhelmed by the oportunities for mayhem. As it were, a Springtime video postcard from Springfield, Vermont, Official Home of the Simpsons.

Fancy News - Fancy Trees!

Autumn, even the Springfield, Vermont, Recycling Center, a fine place to visit any day, is especially resplendent in the warm light cast through the stand of Maples ruddy with Autumn's special blush.


And what a day it was today, the lush moist atmosphere was intoxicating the last days of full arborial color explosions (it rained all day), interesting to be sure, but, while waiting on a small task at the recycling center, one observed citizen after citizen exclaiming pleased surprise and great relief to hear from the very obliging attendent the fine and fancy news that henceforth the Recycle Center will finally accept a wider range of plastics, from every numbered type including 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 - and yes - even 7!

The attendant was happy to recite the Good News over and over, luxuriating in the repetition of the passage that included comments to the effect that "And we don't sort it here anymore either, it goes to the vendor just like this!" As ever, all plastics brought for recycling must be rinsed and have no tops on, but this change is applauded loudly (in a Vermontlische way) by all. One citizen was clearly heard to exclaim "Hurray! No more sorting plastics and throwing away half of them anyway!! Yay!"
