Took a stroll down along our Riverwalk in town yesterday. A view of the Mohawk River, about a quarter-mile before it joins the Connecticut River to the west.

This is fear, ignorance and panic speaking…it will only lead to rage & violence. Nothing Christian about it. Nothing American about it.

September 28, 2013: Standing on the cliff on Bondcliff. I & my good friend Mel had just finished hiking all 48 four thousand footers of NH. My husband, daughter & son-in-law accompanied me on this 2 1/2 day trip across the Pemi.

On this date in 2013, I was halfway through a N-S traverse of the Pemigewasset Wilderness, climbing Zealand Mt., West Bond, Mt. Bond & Bondcliff before heading down to the Kancamagus Hwy. First pic was from Mt. Guyot.

Colors in my yard especially vibrant this afternoon. Cleaning up the garden takes a long time. I’m only half done but there’s still time before the ground freezes. Still 20 feet of carrots to pull up. I’ve put away 4.5 gallons.

Gordon’s statement about the polio vaccine and vaccine policy in general is insanity & an outright lie.
