Comments Off on Peaceful walks in Vermont

As you can see, I love Vermont. One big reason is because it is so peaceful there and you are surrounded by nature. The place where we stayed is located on a nice dirt road, which was perfect for my morning walks. Here’s how I started my day; the view from our kitchen window. Here’s […]

Lovely Grafton and Chester Vermont

Comments Off on Lovely Grafton and Chester Vermont

Grafton Vermont is the quintessential Vermont town. I just love visiting here. The townspeople take a lot of pride in their town; there are always beautiful baskets of flowers along the road. Even the trip there is so “Vermont.” The road to Grafton is mainly a dirt road. Actually, over 50% of the roads in […]

Happy Thanksgiving!

November 27, 2024

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because it is all about family, friends and being thankful for all my blessings. Even though November in New England is cold, dark and dreary, the holiday thoughts brighten my day. And what could be cuter than a Chipmunk Thanksgiving! Even though our little friends have gone in for their […]

Trees everywhere

November 20, 2024

One of the (many) things I love about Vermont is all the forests. It is just so relaxing driving around and seeing just woods, instead of ugly built up areas. There are lots of places to hike in Vermont too. This year, Mr. Ken and I decided to do the easy hikes. Our lovely host […]

Scenic Vermont

One of the (many) things I love about Vermont is the pretty scenery you see everywhere. All roads have nice views. Here are a few of my favorite scenes. Vermont has lots of trees. Vermont also has rolling hills. Vermont also has lots of farms and barns. More farmland and barns. And my favorite scene, […]

Beware the bears

October 23, 2024

Mr. Ken and I did more than just eat on our vacation. We managed to get out and have some lovely hikes. When we visited Vermont in July, it was super hot! It did feel much cooler walking around in the woods though, especially if we were near a stream. Here are some scenes from […]

Comments Off on Eating out in Vermont

As you can probably tell by all the blogs I write about Vermont, I love the state! It is scenic, the people are friendly and most importantly, it isn’t crowded. However, being out in nature can pose some challenges. Going out to eat, for example. You can’t just hop in your car and drive 5 […]

We were fortunate this year to vacation in Vermont in July and again in September. We had a marvelous time and we can’t wait to get back to Vermont. One of the highlights of the September vacation is the Chester Fall Festival. We’ve attended this lovely fall activity for three years now and really look […]

Whose recliner?

Comments Off on Whose recliner?

So we have a new piece of furniture in the house. I think this is the first piece we’ve bought in about 30 years. 🙂 Mr. Ken has always wanted a recliner. So off we went to La-Z-Boy. We lucked out since we could take advantage of the tax-free weekend in Massachusetts. The recliner is […]

Deceptive marketing

September 18, 2024

I try to eat healthy. Hah, the operative word here is “try.” I know yogurt is good for you since it has calcium, protein and probiotics. I also try to be mindful of my sugar and fat consumption. I was excited to see this latest yogurt by Chobani, sugar-free no less! Greek yogurt has more […]
