Fireworks and salamanders

We were very excited to attend Rural Vermont's 2013 Celebration this week - as representative of our new business! But... on the way to Vergennes, the truck caught on fire... just a little bit of a problem considering that it is our only functional vehicle at the moment and the farm sits 5 miles from our house. On the upside, I got to meet an interesting woman that spends the rainy evenings in the Vermont spring helping salamanders cross the road. I also got to meet Kate, the only female towtruck driver in VT. So ... to summarize: if you want to farm, do not expect and easy ride, but do expect an interesting one.
