What a difference a week makes. Last Saturday we were in Vermont and it was raining and we were relaxing in front of a fireplace. Today we are home and it’s 74 degrees and I am sitting in our screened in porch

Was surprised the butterfly stayed still long enough for me to rake some photos

The ropes and strings caught my eye

Beautiful day on the Bay. Spotted 6 ships anchored

It’s 81 degrees. The geese have returned

The rain finally stopped

Then we decided to head to Southern Vermont Art Center. One of the many sculptures throughout the grounds

Then on to the exhibit Love of Vermont. The Lyman Orton Collection. Mr Orton is the owner of the Vermont Country Store. He was kind enough to autograph his book The Collection focuses primarily on work from 1920 to 1960, and includes many of the artists who set the stage for the Southern Vermont Arts Center.

There was another exhibit of Sally Mavor’s work. it is a view of a wide array of original picture book illustrations spanning her career, including the entire series of artwork for her most recent book, MY BED: Enchanting Ways to Fall Asleep around the World. This was one of my favorites since I am a knitter.

Rainy day today. Headed to a candy store that everyone raves about

This is just part of their selection Decisions decisions. We will be back .

Didn’t realize when I took this picture that Vermont would be backwards

Then we decided to check out Lake Powell State Park. Don’t know how we have missed it in all our trips to Vermont. It was raining so we didn’t get to spend as much time there as we would have liked

Then we headed to Weston but the Vermont Country Store was packed so we decided to skip it
