    Shout out for the hand crafted mitten. Mine are in my bureau drawer. Maroon wool with cream accents, c. 1972 from my Gramma Bea.

  2. Thanks to Trump, #Canadian #tourism is WAY down, with MANY citizens scared to visit the US. So @jordanklepper.bsky.social visits the city of #Burlington, #Vermont, to see just HOW desperate #Vermonters are to win back the #Canucks and drink some beer. 🇨🇦 #Cdnpoli #DailyShow youtu.be/CEF_ya1tLfU?...

  3. Anyone in #Vermont with space in a municipality that allows shooting on private land want to hook up with some #Vermonters who want to practice? Open call for antifascist support.

  4. #Vermonters join national movement to #ProtestTrump administration policies

    Hundreds of protesters took to the Statehouse steps in #MontpelierVermont on Wednesday as part of nationwide efforts to resist the president’s recent actions.

    "Hundreds of Vermonters joined a protest against the Trump administration on the steps of the Statehouse on Wednesday — part of a national movement to resist President Donald #Trump’s policies since he came into office two weeks ago.

    "The #protest movement, titled 50501, is a decentralized initiative to bring protests to every state capitol in the nation. Vermonters arrived at the Statehouse in Montpelier with signs, flags and chants, despite the blustery 13-degree weather. [it was a balmy 24 degrees here in Maine.]

    "The themes of attendees’ signs ranged from objections to #ElonMusk’s involvement in the administration to supporting #LGBTQ+ rights, #AbortionRights and the #Palestinian cause. If any thread unified the protesters, it was the desire to push back against what they said was Trump’s anti-democratic approach to his presidential power and harm to #marginalized people.

    "Several state legislators attended the protest, joining in on chants and speaking to folks in the crowd. Among them were Rep. Mari Cordes, D-Lincoln; Rep. Saudia LaMont, D-Morristown; and Rep. Jubilee McGill, D-Bridport, who told VTDigger the Trump administration had been front-of-mind for them, not only as individuals but also as representatives of a small state likely to be heavily affected by Trump policies such as his proposed tariffs."

  5. Hey, #Vermonters! Town meeting is coming up on March 5. And that's when the presidential primary is going to happen, as well.

    Are you registered to vote? Have you requested your absentee ballots? (You have to request one for the primary.) Get 'er done! sos.vermont.gov/elections/ #Vermont

  6. Any of my fellow #Vermonters heading to the #TunbridgeFair this weekend? We may go Sunday — when it is quieter and calmer — for our traditional date day of Antique Hill, and a romantic Ferris wheel ride.

    My spouse was the superintendent of sheep & goats at the Fair for 10 years, and has enjoyed not spending too much time there the last few years after years going all day everyday. But we like to see our friends & neighbors who all play some role in putting on our town’s claim to fame event.

  7. #goodmorning fediverse,

    A weekend of boiling maple sap: mixed results. A friend's sugarhouse burned down, so he asked me to empty his buckets ("Don't want it to waste.") Sap was on the old side, so syrup was "Grade B." Fact is, #Vermonters call the "A Fancy" grade "Tourist Grade" and the B or dark amber #Vermont Grade. More flavor.

    Trees running again today, though they look stationary in this pic.

    I'll be writing more about this obsession here: geoffreygevalt.com/projects/ta

  8. Left the house this morning when it was still above 0ºF (with a feels like of -9) to check on the sheep. I was only outside for 15 mins while I gave them more hay and some grains and checked to see if their water was still running (it is!); by the time I was done I could barely feel my fingers. Be safe out there #Vermonters
