Thursday, June 19—Jericho, VT
This, our last day in Vermont at Peter & Sonja’s, we drove into Burlington, looked around in a couple of antiques & collectibles shops, ate lunch at Panera Bread Company, and then drove out to Colchester to visit with Andrew who had gotten home in time to be with Sophie while Sarah traveled to her mother’s to help her mother through double hip replacement surgery. (Having just come through hip replacement ourselves, Sonja and I were worried about the logistics of getting both done at once.) We invited Andrew and Sophie to have dinner with us that evening at a Vietnamese restaurant. Sonja could not be with us as she had an evening meeting.
On the way home Peter drove us to a park. We had a stunning view of Lake Champlain, and across it the Adirondack Mountains. We also stopped at a nursery and Peter and Sonja bought a couple of big potted plants for their new entryway wall.

Once back at the house, Sarah and I did a couple of loads of wash and began organizing for
our departure the next day. She and I and Sonja took a walk down the dirt road before the house, picking wildflowers, and enjoying a walk. Three woodcocks arose from a field on our right and flew directly over our heads, their long bills prominent. This was the first time I had seen a woodcock in the wild.
