Why a blog?

Since arriving in Vermont on April 27th our lives have been filled with excitement.  After our first porcupine siting, we vowed to create a blog to document all of our adventures.  Since then the adventures have been piling up!

- The dogs have been swimming with a beaver.

- We have off-roaded on a "town highway" (which was nothing more than an overgrown, eroded jeep path) in the indestructible Ford Focus.  Eric at the wheel driving like a champ and Teresa running down the road ahead tossing logs and boulders out of the way!

- We spent an afternoon tubing down the Ottauquechee river (which runs through the Quechee golf course) with dogs in tow and occasionally on our laps.

- Attended a celtic music concert in an old 1800's barn (and man do those barns shake and move!)

- And most recently, Eric found Noodle on a mountain bike ride.  Noodle is a week old red-tailed hawk who happened to have his nest fall from the tree.  We drove him to VINS (Vermont Institute of Natural Science), which happens to be a bird sanctuary and rehabilitation center right here in little old Quechee!  We hope to have updates on little Noodle as he grows and are hoping to be present for his release back into the wild.

Keep tuned in for new adventures to come!

  1. You certainly are your mothers child Teresa! They sound like great adventures, I'm glad we will get to hear more. Now all you need is Facebook to keep up with your nephew! =)
