I usually come up to the Dummerston Church to do my blog, so that's where I am right now. Just before coming here, I picked up our first CSA at Walker Farm (everything was boxed by them and they put it in the car. Handy!), and then swung by the Brattleboro P.O. to mail some cards and letters - the only place locally you can mail something on Saturday afternoon and still have it go out that day.
The Dummerston Church has created an Advent Wreath display in the front window so that it can be seen by those driving by the church. It is made of PVC pipe and wired so that a candle can be "lit' each week. The first candle of Hope is lit now (and there is a sign, "Hope," at the base, visible from outside). Another case of a creative response to the pandemic.
There are four candles, one for each Sunday in Advent, and a center "Christ Candle" lit on Christmas Eve. I think the four candles are Hope, Joy, Love and Peace (if memory serves me correctly).
Today it was supposed to snow, but so far its just rain. Tomorrow the Brattleboro Concert Choir "Stay at Home Sing-Along" is the Faurè Requiem, a favorite of mine. Ellen is enjoying a quiet day at home, reading. Ahhh!
