The view from my back windows on a Vermont summer day

Vermont time

Only in Woodstock do we open a newly re-built bridge with a marching jazz band! The Rec Center Bridge, which happens to be on Route 4 (the primary east/west route across Vermont,) has been closed for exactly one month while being re-built. Frankly despite the all-night work crews early in the process, we have enjoyed the lack of traffic on our end of town. But, at exactly 3 o'clock today, the blockades were removed and the townsfolk turned out to be the first to walk across our new bridge. Progress.
