For one, I now work in a real office, not at my kitchen table. It means getting dressed in more than just sweat pants in the morning, and actually seeing my colleagues every day.<\/p>\n<p>And I&#8217;m also making the transition to rural living. Before, we lived in a densely packed Winooski neighborhood. You could hear the neighbors&#8217; dogs &#8212; and, let&#8217;s be honest, the neighbors&#8211;plus the dull roar of planes flying in and out of the Burlington International Airport. Now, I live Winthrop (or maybe West Stockholm, I&#8217;m not totally sure which), and hear a different sort of cacophony: \u00a0birds, crickets and frogs, the brook pattering by, punctuated by an occasional car.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/allin\/files\/2013\/09\/photo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6424 alignright\" alt=\"photo\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/allin\/files\/2013\/09\/photo-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/allin\/files\/2013\/09\/photo-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/allin\/files\/2013\/09\/photo-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/allin\/files\/2013\/09\/001.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6427 alignleft\" alt=\"001\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/allin\/files\/2013\/09\/001-168x300.jpg\" width=\"168\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/allin\/files\/2013\/09\/001-168x300.jpg 168w, https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/allin\/files\/2013\/09\/001-575x1024.jpg 575w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 168px) 100vw, 168px\" \/><\/a>The joy of both of those transitions was made evident to me last night and this morning.

The subject line: peach raspberry pie. Cue a mass migration of NCPR staff \u00a0to the kitchen.
