Montpelier Food - Crumb Cake

No, this isn’t a post about the Montpelier restaurants, although they were good too. When we go away, we love staying at Airbnbs since we have our own kitchen. We eat breakfast at the place. We then go out exploring for the day, stopping to have a nice lunch out somewhere. By evening, we are […]

Montpelier Walking - Pink Donut Banner

Even though Montpelier is a city and the capitol of Vermont, it still has a homey, country feel to it. I just loved walking through the neighborhoods and saw such interesting sights! True to its quirky nature, here is a pretty pink donut banner draped over a fence. There were surprises in almost every yard […]

Well, anything related to knee replacement surgery, that is. πŸ™‚ Yep, I guess I am now officially “old” since I need a knee replacement. I am still trying to get my head around this. All my life, I tried to be “good” and live a healthy lifestyle. This meant, eating well, being active and managing […]

Montpelier Nature - Quirky Sculpture

Montpelier is a city and the capital of Vermont. Even so, there were plenty of nature scenes as I was out taking my walks. There are several parks right in the city.

Montpelier Houses - Mauve Victorian

No surprise that not only are the buildings in downtown Montpelier interesting, but the houses are too. Sometimes, it’s just the paint on the house that makes it interesting. I just love the patriotic flags, as well as the abundance of black-eyed susan flowers of this Victorian. Most of the houses I saw were Victorian, […]

Montpelier Flowers - Black Eyed Susans

There were so many pretty and colorful flowers along my walks. Summers in Vermont must be very conducive to growing them. I have a feeling that the bugs, like Japanese beetles and the like, don’t make it this far North. Hah, if we tried to grow any of these flowers in Massachusetts, the bugs would […]

Montpelier - Winooski River Scene

Montpelier, like a lot of major cities, is located along a river. The Winooski River, deriving its name from the Abenaki word for “where the wild onion grows,” is a vital 90-mile waterway in Vermont, flowing from the Cabot area to Lake Champlain. It shaped the region’s history by powering early sawmills and textile industries, most notably through Ira Allen’s […]

Montpelier Nature Walking - Free Range Chickens

After a brief respite to post some pretty Easter pictures, I’m back to writing about my favorite state, Vermont. Yes, Montpelier, Vermont is the state capital, but even so, I saw some interesting live animals on my walks around the local neighborhoods. Yes, I know deer are everywhere, even in the built-up suburb where I […]
