BBQ is stored during peak winter so that it isn't damaged
Spring and fall are ladybug season in VT and it is very common for ladybugs to gather near windows. They are NOT harmful but we like to give our renters a heads up regardless.
As expected the river water levels will fluctuate depending on rainfall, etc. There are times when it's shallower and times when it's deeper.
