travel day so not much of a chance to take pictures

It’s a beautiful day in Stowe. It’s 71 degrees and we are sitting outside under the trees I checked and it’s 86 degrees at home

Another picture of the lupines

Patterns

Decided to walk on the bike path



Woke up to rain and 57 degrees. It stopped raining and sun came out in the afternoon and temperature hit 70
We headed to Honey Hollow Falls but when we got there trail was wet and overgrown so then we headed to Mt Philo state park. Along the way I saw a sign for the round church in Richmond. I put it into your GPS but we could not find it so headed to the park. We parked the car and walked to an overlook. I was disappointed but then noticed a trail so decided to walk a bit and saw signs for the summit
The park is the first state park in Vermont. View of Lake Champlain

Inn gardens at night

Beautiful day. Blue skies but it’s 86 degrees
We headed out to Sterling Gorge. Along the way we spotted an old factory alongside the road an stopped to take some pictures





Pictures above are along Sterling Gorge trail. When I looked at the map I thought we were going to go by a covered bridge on way to the gorge but we didn’t see any signs. After we left the gorge and headed back to Stowe the GPS lost its signal so we were not sure where to turn. We missed the turn but found the covered bridge.


We decided to stop in Stowe. It was really busy as there was a tour bus. We stopped in one of the galleries and saw this guitar. It can be yours for $3,000

Stopped in downtown saratoga springs. Found a great bakery. Mrs Landons and a great yarn store. Common Threads
Then we headed to Manchester to Orvis so Michael could use his coupon. Then we headed to Stowe. Went a different route this time and discovered a new covered bridge Shushan covered bridgeBut after I took the picture I tripped and scraped my knee and elbow. Thank goodness there is a first aid kit in truck
Then we headed to Stowe and the sun finally came out
The gardens at the Stone Hill Inn are beautiful as usual


View from our room


Just some close ups of the beautiful flowers I finally got to see some lupine
Travel day. It only rained about the last 90 minutes. 68 degrees and drizzling. Weather is New York is like Maryland

Another misty, dreary day. day lilies from our front yard

Damp and dreary day. Temperatures only reached low 70’s. Is this really the middle of June

Finally have some wildflowers in the pond behind our house
