Making hay while the sun shines and the roads are free of slippery impediments to travel, I did a little extra driving this past weekend. In the process, I got a better-than-usual view of my beloved country, on the car radio, passing through small towns, on my cellphone, and from some old friends.

On Sunday mornings of the weekends Bea drives up from Nahant, if the weather is warm and pleasant, we put the top down on the roadster, assure Kiki we won’t be gone long, and tool leisurely downstream along the Winooski River to Middlesex for coffee and a pastry at the Red Hen Bakery. It’s a clean, well-lighted place, usually pretty busy on Sunday mornings with a mixture of locals, tourists and transplants like me.
