The last ten days

Ten days since the Underground Railroad OLLI presentation! There is another OLLI today, but we are not going. It's on "spooky Vermont places" - could be interesting but not high on our "must do" list. The big feature of these last ten days, I would say, has been the fall foliage and weather. It has been a beautiful fall - sunny, mild and colorful. I have not been out there getting fall foliage shots, but I did these very representative ones behind the Guilford Church
At River Singers, we had John Harrison as a guest leader. John comes down from Plainfield, VT, where he used to lead his own Gospel Choir. He taught us 3 songs from that repertoire. He is a character, but is a good teacher and fun to work with.

Sunday, we sang in the choir at Dummerston and after church we went across the road to see the "mummers" - a local group of Morris Dancers who at this time of year go around to various towns and put on a mummers play - a mock "death and resurrection" play. very humorous and sometimes downright silly. We know several them well - e.g., Fred Breunig, Arthur Davis, and Paul Eric. Here are some scenes:
