rural graffiti

 Weekdays in the city - I'm accustomed to all sorts of graffiti

But - I confess, I'm not up on the latest gang lingo -

and rarely have a clue what the message is supposed to mean.

I assume it's something uplifting like - "Our turf - keep out or you'll be shot"

I could be wrong...

Anyway - when I saw this message painted on the side of an old shed in the 

tiny village of Chester, Vermont -

I thought - Finally, something I understand!

I'm thinking Facebook might be a more effective way of letting everyone know that you were 

"green before green was cool" -

but I'm glad they chose this method.

I'm joining Madge at the View from Right Here for Rurality Blog Hop

random five from a random week

Happy Friday - and you know what that means

- time for some randomness at A Rural Journal

:-)

1) Fortunately for Appalachian Trail thru-hikers, this spot at the top of Bromley mountain will be much prettier (and warmer) when they start hiking through in July and August.

2) I made it through week #1 of this whole Appalachian Trail shin-dig.

Whew - this worrying thing is pretty darned tiring!

Maggie's latest text from somewhere in Georgia - "I'm having an amazing time"

That's good - right?

3) Completely random -

Everything is better with peanut butter...

Just putting it out there

4) Right now, I'm reading Wally Lamb's latest - We Are Water

I'm enjoying it so far - and am always looking for suggestions.

Have you read anything awesome lately?

5) So... Yeah... Candy Crush...

As if I needed one more thing to completely suck up my time.

Anyone else addicted to this incredibly obnoxious game?

I'm going on a Candy Crush detox...

I wish you all a wonderful weekend!
