Maria and I had the sweetest morning this Easter morning. We stayed in bed until 10:30 a.m., a rare thing for us. We trawled You Tube for videos of Chaco Canyon in New Mexico and other places there we wish to visit on our next trip. We’ve begun a New Mexico second trip fund, an envelope in which we put spare cash when we have some. We have $300 only several thousand more to go.

When we finally got up, we drove to Vermont to have some breakfast and I stopped along the road to take photos. We had lunch at a funky old Vermont family restaurant, it was a beautiful day, a lazy day.

The woods are dotted with old things set aside, and I found this old gas tank pump, sitting peacefully in returning, it’s last sale still recorded in the old window, the old pump lying in repose.

I love taking photos of old things, and they are everywhere here. Speaking of old things, we’re going to the Gulley Farm this afternoon to take some photos of Ed (and the beautiful and young Carol). Stay tuned.
