It shaped the region’s history by powering early sawmills and textile industries, most notably through Ira Allen’s […]

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.

The joy of spring flowers
April 15, 2026
Our little guy, Toby, has gotten into spring mode with his garden. Love the pretty daffodils, hyacinths and basil shoots. If you look closely you can see a little gold finch at the bird feeder on the far right. Spring is definitely here! What signs of spring have you noticed?

It is Easter and it’s time for the annual Peep post. 🙂 And, as an extra bonus, a cute picture of a Vermont cow, dressed up as an Easter bunny. You all probably know that I love chipmunks and Peeps, but did you also know that I love cows? I have a field day when […]

It is no surprise that Montpelier Vermont has a very active art scene. It is a quirky place and art fits right in. This colorful mural was a ray of brightness, right next to some railroad tracks. Usually, the area around rail road tracks is not very pretty. I wonder what the artist was thinking […]

Originally chartered on August 14, 1781, the Town of Montpelier was granted municipal powers by the “Governor, Council and General Assembly of the Freemen of the State of Vermont.” Montpelier became the capital of Vermont in 1805, selected after years […]

So last Sunday and Monday we had a pretty big snowstorm. You can see the pictures on my blog from last week, Well, the next day, the snow had stopped and the sun was shining. It was quite pretty seeing the snow on the trees. I just had to get outside, so I decided to […]

My dear Mr. Ken surprised me with a beautiful bouquet for Valentine’s Day. Well, I might have “helped” him along by mentioning daily for a week that Valentine’s Day was coming up. 🙂 This is just one of many, many examples of how Mr. Ken shows his affection. I knew he was a “keeper” even […]
