Ready for anything!
Well, anything related to knee replacement surgery, that is. 🙂 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 VT – Park Scenes
May 20, 2026
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 park’s biggest attraction is […]
Montpelier VT – Interesting Houses
May 13, 2026
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 VT – Pretty Flowers
May 6, 2026
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 VT – Winooski River Scene
April 29, 2026
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 VT – Live Animal Scenes
April 22, 2026
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 […]
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?
Happy Easter and Happy Spring!
April 8, 2026
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 […]
Montpelier VT – Downtown Scenes
April 1, 2026
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 all the old brick buildings. And speaking of old, here is a building sign that has been around since 1890! Montpelier is quirky and I love […]
Montpelier VT – Downtown Animal Scenes
March 25, 2026
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 […]
