News you can use that you just might enjoy!
All in an effort to bring you joy
Good morning Norwich and Upper Valley readers,
An allium looking pretty good and this butterfly seems to agree
Here comes the rain again: It’s 10:30 and yes its raining as I am doing this story.
Oh no, the leaves are starting to fall. This colorful leaf is getting a head start.
The above photos were taken by the phantom photographer
In an effort to save you some e-mails, I am combining several links to various topics for you to view and or listen to.
I thought I would post these links in lieu of an actual story as there might be news you can use and music, flowers, and the latest news from Marion Cross elementary school. Even though you may not have children in the school system, you still pay your share fare of taxes and it is always nice to know where your money goes.
Here is the link to the Marion Cross school’s latest newsletter Who's Wise Words

Recently many residents in Vermont experienced serious flooding and depending on where the flooding happened, some faired better than others. Many lost their homes, belongings and are still trying to regroup and rebuild so to speak.
A week or so ago there was a mailing that was sent to Norwich residents regarding a service called “Scan VT “ I am including a phrase from the post card mailing that states:
When tragedy strikes, we make sure our family and pets are safe; then our thoughts go to our precious photos and family memories. Scan VT is here to help you preserve those irreplaceable treasures.
Here is the link with all the pertinent info: Website - www.scanvt.com [Link]
And now another fun photo from the phantom photographer:
Check this out! Is it a special flower or just a dandelion with a butterfly? How cute!
The rest of these flower photos are courtesy of Richard Neugass and his Take a closer look series. Oh by the way he also can convert your tapes to digital.
Here is his e-mail: neugass2009@gmail.com and more info:
Turn videocassettes or audiocassettes into a disk AND/OR a file on a
thumbdrive!
Turn individual 35mm slides into files on a thumbdrive!
Convert to digital, your protection against obsolescence.

A Happy Alien
Just a colorful butterfly having a moment or two !
A little bit of photosynthesis I would say!
A rose of Sharon Hibiscus
Wild carrot or Queen Anne’s lace
A Heart of Common Foxglove
And a Border Carnation
And now that you got thru the preliminaries it is time for a variety of music from Chad Finer’s collection of video’s. Enjoy!
