Comments Off on Vermont – Walking Scenes

I not only saw pretty flowers along my walk, but some interesting other things. Of course, I wasn’t surprised to see a barn. 🙂 And some beautiful horses. A magnificent heron perched high in a tree. Vermont has lots of wilderness and lots of bears. This sign caught my eye. Mountains everywhere you look. After […]

Vermont – Flowers everywhere

November 5, 2025

So Mr. Ken and I spent several wonderful weeks in Vermont. Our first trip was in July. Boy was it hot! Who would think that the land of mountains and lots of snow would get this hot? Anyway, we had a great time. I was able to take a walk every morning. And even though […]

Some cuteness to brighten your day

October 29, 2025

So Mr. Ken and I had a fabulous four days away in Northampton, Mass., my new favorite city. Haven’t quite organized my blog posts for that trip. Actually, we spent several weeks in Vermont too and I have yet to organize those posts. So, a brief post this week with some of our beloved “guys,” […]

With a song in my heart

October 15, 2025

Mr. Ken never ceases to amaze me. His latest thing is taking guitar lessons. He used to play the trumpet for his high school marching band and has always had an interest in music. Of course, our little guys had to get in on the action too. Pickles, the corgi with the purple ribbon, looks […]

Fall is my favorite time of year in New England. The crisp air and the pretty leaves are so nice. Our Toby loves the fall too. He especially likes playing in his very own little pumpkin patch. 🙂 What do you think of fall?

Morristown, NJ, was settled around 1715 as New Hanover and became Morris Town in 1739, named for Governor Lewis Morris. It became a pivotal American Revolution site under General George Washington, serving as a winter headquarters twice, first in 1777 and then […]

Mr. Ken and I stayed in Morristown, New Jersey for his college reunion. Morristown is fairly built up, after all it is New Jersey. But, there were lots of sidewalks so I was able to get out walking and see some interesting sights. This post is about the houses I saw on my walks. In […]

New Jersey is not all Tony Soprano and malls. It is known as the Garden State. There are some lovely areas. Here are just a few of the ones Mr. Ken and I experienced on our recent trip to New Jersey. The view from where we stayed. Another view of a lovely large weeping pine […]
