Thursday August 7, 2014 Westgate RD West Windsor Vermont Lauston Stephens was heading south on Westgate RD in West Windsor on Thursday morning when he was he encountered a Cota and Cota Oil truck heading north. To avoid clipping the truck, Stephens turned into the ditch and got stuck in the mud. Roy Seymour from Earles Truck Repair in Rutland was called to pull the truck out. West Windsor volunteer Fire Fighter, David Jaacks responded to the emergency call. The road was closed for about one hour. The truck's diesel tank remained intact and appeared solid upon inspection. No injuries were reported and when Stephens checked his cargo he said everything looked ready for delivery. Neighbors are speculating that Westgate Road is being used to avoid going all the way around Ascutney Mountain while the bridge on Rte 44 west of Brownsville is closed for repairs. Westgate is a narrow dirt road but driving around the mountain can add up 45 minutes your trip to the east side of...

August 10-12, 2014 Weathersfield Vermont What a spectacular morning. Moon set and Sunrise on both ends of the field! Sunday night, Jay and I hiked up into a neighbors hay field and patiently waited for the moon to rise. I hope you all had a chance to catch this Super Moon. The full moon on August 10 just happened to be full when the moon reached its closest point to Earth in its orbit. This supermoon was only 356,896 kilometers or 221,765 miles away from us. If you missed it there will be another super moon on September 9 at 1:38 UTC. The following morning Riley, the wonder dog , and I hiked back to this field. We were treated to the most amazing sunrise.
