Downtown Granby, Vermont was bustling with activity when I took this photo. The three buildings shown are a chapel/church, a Post Office, and the Town Clerk's office. There also is a schoolhouse just beyond the bend in the road. The town was chartered in 1761, had a population of 52 in 1970, and exploded to 84 as of the 2017 census. Granby was the last of two towns in Vermont to be hooked up to the electric grid, which occurred in 1963.
I saw only one car in the half hour I was at this location. They smiled and waved as they passed. Most of the residents in these small rural towns throughout Vermont and New Hampshire are very friendly. However, that may not be the case in the bordering town of Victory, which I drove through to get to Granby. Victory has a population of 62 as of the last census, and is known for its decades long "Hatfield versus McCoy" type feuds, keeping the local county sheriff busy. Just Google "Victory Vermont feud" for details. Maybe they are friendly to outsiders like me though. I don't know, as I saw no one at all in my drive through Victory. I suspect they may be afraid to go outside. By the way, Victory was the second of the last two towns in Vermont to be hooked up to the electric grid.
This scene looked to me like it was out of the 1800's. Even the main road through town is unpaved. So I thought it was appropriate for a black and white photo.

Couldn't resit these flags in the sun and the breeze, I think they are some sort of markers for the fishing boats.

I love the lustrous dark blue and the blazing red wing flags. And the shadow this Postman is leaving on these fuzzy Hot Lips!
Heliconius melpomene, the postman butterfly, common postman or simply postman, is a brightly colored butterfly found throughout Mexico and Central America. It was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae. Its coloration coevolved with a sister species H. erato as a warning to predators of its inedibility; this is an example of Müllerian mimicry. H. melpomene was one of the first butterfly species observed to forage for pollen, a behavior that is common in other groups but rare in butterflies. Because of the recent rapid evolutionary radiation of the genus Heliconius and overlapping of its habitat with other related species, H. melpomene has been the subject of extensive study on speciaiztion and hybridization. Hybrids tend to have low fitness as they look different from the original species and no longer exhibit Müllerian mimicry.
Yes, this unusual flower is called Hot Lips! Hot Lips is a member of Rubiaceae, the coffee family. This large shrub is widely distributed in tropical forests from southern Mexico to northernmost Argentina. To attract its main pollinators, hummingbirds, its inconspicuous inflorescences are framed by two glossy, bright red bracts that look like a pair of pouting lips. An easily grown and attractive ornamental for the tropics, it also has a number of applications in traditional medicine.

Linda, a volunteer, was doing back breaking work planting.
"Camas (Camas quamash) marked with red flags, a beautiful blue spring flower. The bulbs were cultivated as a staple food by the Indigenous peoples as were the white flagged Nodding onion (Allium cernuum). The third plant a little higher on the hill is Hardhack (Spirea douglasii ssp douglasii)"
