Happy Passover, Easter, and Quarry Hill Day

April 10, 2012 will mark the 66th anniversary of Quarry Hill Day, the day Barb and Irv bought Quarry Hill and registered it in the Town Clerk's Office in 1946.

Happy Quarry Hill Day!

And to my observant Jewish friends and relatives, L'Chaim for Passover.

Have a wonderful Easter day, everyone!

It is my favorite holiday and in some ways my favorite time of year (April, QH Day, Passover, Easter).
Happy spring.
"I am the resurrection and the Life..."
Enjoy this moment, and let all be in harmony together.

Quarry Hill will be rejuvenated by openness to the Newcomer

Spring is here early this year, it seems, and it reminds me that we are to have a new summer of people visiting. Quarry Hill's motto (Irving's saying) has always been "Everything for the sake of the Newcomer." I hope all who live here or plan or hope to live here will remember this, and make new people welcome in their homes and the Farmhouse, etc. We all need some time on our own, but anyone who believes that they can have an entirely private life in a place like this is probably mistaken. When we entertain angels unawares, we meet new and wonderful people. This is how all the people who came to live here, with the exception of a few, have come! Let's remember, and also, visitors, remember that people need time on their own, and that a place like QH has many chores that need doing. If you visit, please check with Brion, Ladybelle, (or anyone, really) to find out what needs doing. Thanks!

We're approaching 20,000 page views of this Blog!

I know it's not a lot for some Blogs, but I feel as though Quarry Hill has twenty thousand friends all over the world. We may never meet, but thanks to all of you for your amazing interest in the doings of this little (but long lived) place in the Mountains of Vermont...

Happy New Year

We are hoping for a great 2012, much better than 2011 which was a difficult year for everyone in Vermont, not as much for us as for some, but we did lose our lower road and our direct access to Hancock and Rt 100 downhill. The road is closed because it is said to be unstable and unsafe. I hope one day it will be fixed, but I rather doubt it because of the money and effort it would take. It's a bit unnerving to have only one way out, but on the other hand, it's more quiet. In any case, I hope for a wonderful 2012 for all Vermonters and peace and goodwill for everyone everywhere... (good luck, right?). Ladybelle People here seem to be doing all right. Barbara is hanging in there. I hope to spend most of the rest of the winter writing. Hope all are well.
