come and gone

This photo is of Rte. 7, the main roadway north and south in western Vermont. It is closed north and south of Rutland. I saw a huge semi do a U turn across four lanes of traffic just a little bit north of here. Rutland is actually bustling these days with traffic and construction workers passing through. I actually saw a couple of screwdrivers and assorted items lying in the road at the intersection of Rtes. 4 & 7. They must have fallen out of someone's truck. There is a lot of traffic on Cold River Road. It must be some kind of a detour.
School has started albeit a day late in some areas because of the storm. The Addison Farm and Field days have come and gone as have the birds that were singing in the morning back in June.
