Sonja Hakala used to walk daily on a trail along the bank of the White River on her West Hartford property until it was damaged by August’s flooding. For weeks afterward, Hakala couldn’t walk the trail without crying; and now she and her husband, Jay Davis, are trying to obtain funding to shore up the weakened bank underneath their home. “Irene has become a part time job,” she said. “You get tired of talking about it, you get tired of living it.”	Valley News - James M.

Jim Fields, of Orford, wraps shiny foil tape around the Christmas-themed display he’s arranged on an antique corn planter parked on  property he owns with his cousin in Lyme. “I remember my grandma had equipment like this on her farm when I was really young,” he said. “It still works; you could use it if you had to. But I don’t think it would be very efficient.”Valley News - Polina Yamshchikov

Keith Mason, of Enfield, shovels dirt on the top of the dirt-and-grass roof of the underground home he is renovating in Canaan on Wednesday. “There's a whole lot of maintenance issues that surround an underground house, like all this drainage work that I’m doing,” said Mason, “but fortunately, I’m still just a big kid who likes to play in all this mud.” Valley News - Sarah Priestap
