The economic impact of the floods is still being felt here in Vermont as many businesses found themselves having to rebuild from the ground up, forcing some employees out of work. There has been a remarkable outpouring of community spirit as Vermonters help Vermonters to rebuild and many or the roads and bridges have opened just in time for the important fall foliage tourist season.

There are still many that are not open, though, including the covered bridge in Waitsfield that sustained some damage and will be closed for at least a few months. That means I have to take the longer scenic route every day (don’t throw me into the briar patch!). Today I just stopped along the side of the road for five minutes to watch a rafter of wild turkeys forage. I got to see the tom display himself and it was one of the most valuable five minutes of my day!
