Ich bin ein Vermonter
Finally! For fellow flatlanders who have made the move to Vermont, a little help with the local language…
Faam: A place where you raise animals and vegetables.
Baan: A structure on the faam.
Jaw on dare: The green tractor in the baan.
Soda: What a farmer did to his prized cow to help pay for his new jaw on dare.

Hello.
Bloggle is the online playground of Doug Cadmus, a usability guy, writer, photographer and sometime dramatist who moved to Vermont for the coffee. When not writing, reading or walking his old, blind golden retriever, he roasts coffee in his garage and is the Web Guy for Green Mountain Coffee in Waterbury, VT. Flickr Photos

‘Specially in Sweetwater.
