Heyo from the northeast kingdom of vt!!
For the past 4 weeks I’ve been living it up in the rural country learning how to “homestead” and actually read when the power goes out (which happens way too often. I ask you: what about a sunny day would obstruct a power line?).
Quincy soakin up the golden hour rays in a wholesome post dinner moment.
A sunset flick from an off-roading adventure on July 4th when the power went out.
I’ve been exploring the world of press this summer working as a reporter for the local newspaper. I'm learning that not everyone likes nosy journalists! but it’s been a fun opportunity to explore the area and be more in touch with what’s going on/know the ins and outs of local life. A few highlights have been interviewing the Vermont State Senator and Rep, covering the big Antiques & Uniques anniversary event, and driving/walking around trying to find the worst destruction from the floods this week for photojournalism. That last one was more me being like: “Yes!! Me!! I can totally do that!” and then me and Quincy got to go on detours and rubber neck the wreckage.
I drove to do an interview at someone's business and ended up at a homestead (vermont for ya). peep the ducks in the background.
Checking out our coach's road. Guess he's not driving to practice (yikes).
I have never seen asphalt crumble before (this is at the bottom of our hill).
We lost power for a full day after the first storm and had no running water (and not very much food!) but Jack's Big Truck Borris got us through the river roads and to the Genny.

Last weekend, the eastern ephs united for a Burly get together and run/hike at Mt. Mansfield. It was so fun to get with the squad again after 2 long months apart and explore some caves (?!) while we were at it!

Back in the Craftsbury area, I’ve been training with the Craftsbury U23 group (with Tzevi) and doing work hours at the Outdoor Center. I’m becoming buddies with the kitchen staff and have found the best places around the Center to pick black raspberries (which I didn't know was an actual fruit...).
Getting a post ski shooting lesson from Emma.
I’m living in Rikz’s house in Greensboro with her sister Quincy and Q’s Midd nordie teammate Jack. It’s been lots of fun getting to know them and learning how to cook (there have been a few epic fails which they were nice enough about), tend an actual garden, and make the trek to the library to pick out our next movie.
Exploring mediterranean cuisine with Jack. I can say that I contributed the tzatziki!
