Well, anything related to knee replacement surgery, that is. ๐Ÿ™‚ 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 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. Hubbard Park sits right behind the Vermont State House and can be accessed from a number of locations. The parkโ€™s biggest attraction is […]

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, 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 regionโ€™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.

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. ๐Ÿ™‚ 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 […]

Not only were there lots of interesting animal sculptures in downtown Montpelier, but there were also lots of interesting sights. Here’s a view of the downtown.

I just love walking around new cities; there is always something unique and interesting to see. Montpelier did not disappoint. Given that Vermont is mostly rural, it was no surprise that there were a lot of fun animal sculptures and even live animals. The pink polka dotted pig and the pink pig were certainly eye […]

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 […]
