Brooklyn Folk


This weekend Alix, a dear friends of mine, made it up to Vermont with a few of her friends! She was the only one I knew when I initially met up with them, but immediately I felt like they were all my friends, &I had a lot of fun!


Saturday night we headed down to Vergennes where Alix's aunt, Jan, lives. We headed out to a corn maze at 10pm, where we trashed our boots in the mud (it was brutal!) and tried to find our way through (with the moonlight) before they closed at 11. Towards the end of the hour the group split and Alix &I ended up wandering on our own. With 5 minutes left and our wet socks scrunched up in the middle our feet we stumbled upon the exit - success! The others headed out of an early exit but we triumphed! We were awarded a cookie - and it was delicious.


Then we headed back to Jan's house; she lives in a beautiful house with matching old wooden furniture and 5 kitties! She let us spend the night and was extremely hospitable and welcoming to all of us.  We sat by the fire pit in her yard for hours - it was so cold but the fire was so hot. It's strange to be comfortable in the most unbalanced way. 




At some point this baby showed up:


A gorgeous black and white kitten - no more than 6 months old. She was quite feisty - growling at the cats who lived there and making her presence known. She already was used to people and never left our sight. So cute - I really wish I could take her in, and would have despite Sean's text, "no cats!" But I really can't make a commitment like that right now; I never know where I'm going to end up. As soon as I'm more settled the first thing I'm going to do is get a kitty. It is first on my list.
