Down in Brattleboro, the shopping town for this area, pop. about 9,000 on a
busy day, there is a park at the foot of the hill by the old railroad
station which is now a museum. A few years ago some fella built these
things out of slender tree branches. He wove them, I guess, somehow,
anyway they ended up looking like giant upside down bird nests. They were
sort of cool. This past summer there was some talk of removing them but I
don't go down there very often so don't know if they did or not. Ruth

We had two ramadii in the yard. Neither was attached to the adobe house.
Beautiful natural desert all around. Woke to coyotes walking past a few
yards away and California Quail sitting on the curly iron bed frame in the
morning. Woke in the ultimate dark to watch the great comet of 1965 that
stretched a quarter of the way across the perfect desert night sky out there
with no electric lights for many miles.
