Power back on after a three-day outage. Thank you Green Mountain Power and all the repair crews. It's going to be a good day.

White Clouds and Crimson Trees by Tanomura Chokunyu. 155 pieces. Made by Artifact Puzzles.

Despite the small number of pieces, the nature of the picture and the design made this a fun challenge (approx. one 45-minute session with two people).

The design is based on one of the pentagonal tiling patterns discovered by amateur mathematician Marjorie Rice.

Another one done during an (ongoing) multi-day power outage.

@rickscully About 9" of the heavy wet here in Brattleboro (so far). I'm surprised the power is still on. Not expecting that to last as the winds pick up.

With snow like this, our birch trees get so weighed down they block the driveway. But whacking them with a snow shovel makes them bounce right up. They seem to do fine with these conditions, like Vermonters I guess.
