Good afternoon Norwich and the Upper Valley,
With all this rain that is coming down here there and everywhere, I thought I would send you some photos and music to keep you cool, calm, and above all happy or should I say it like the title states- Don’t worry.. be hoppy.
Any way enjoy these photos and above all Chad Finer’s music videos. Stay well and be safe.
This guy is tired of the rain. Looking for drier grounds.
A cheery smile, must be the sun came out for a moment or two
It looks like the rain has helped out here
I am telling you the ball went this way (not a ducky day for these two)
But I bet the this Red-winged blackbird knows where it went
Just trying to branch out a bit
Everything grows
Poppy (This photo and the next 3 are courtesy of Richard Neugass)
Just a bunch
A birch I believe
Oh what a weave this is
100 eggs from Jes Brown’s Clucker’s
Are you done counting yet?
They spy with their eyes wide open
What can I say ( There are no words to explain this ).
Just another lazy day on Elm Street. This photo was taken before all this rain.
This little squirrel is on the move
Trying to get to the other side of the road
And it made it but as you can see it did not use the crosswalk
And this turtle does not have a care in the world (No crosswalks to worry about either)
And now for some music for you to enjoy

JOHN SPECKER and his fiddle - an old-time tune - "The Traveler" - recorded
at John's home in Andover on December 14, 2022
John is a long-time fiddler (and a favorite of mine) and in some locations
is known as the 'Father of the Ithaca Sound'
He and his daughters Lila and Ida Mae have been referred to, by VPR's
Robert Resnik as "VERMONT TREASURES" and indeed they are.
Check my channel for more music by the Speckers.
