Last day in Stowe. Did two loads of wash. Went to farmers market and bought some maple caramel bourbon popcorn. Then we spent afternoon relaxing outside by the gardens. It was another beautiful day. Wish rest of our trip it would be this nice but heat wave is on its way
Daisies are my favorite and there are lots of them
Started the day in downtown Stowe. I have a picture of church from a distance but decided to take one from the front of church
Starbucks is now in Stowe along with 4 other coffee shops
Next up another covered bridge
View from the bridge
Then onto the Stowe Toll Road. It cost over $51 to drive the 4.5 miles to the top of Mt Mansfield. Beautiful views of the Adirondack Mountains
There is a small ledge on back of red pole for you to place your phone so you can set a timer and take a photo of you in the background.
Then back to the Inn. It was a beautiful afternoon we sat outside. View from just outside our room
Then off to dinner at the Backyard

Hi my name is Froggy and welcome to my garden. Several years ago when we were in Stowe, Vermont we found this neat little place called Inky Dinky Oink. There is a 145 year old farmhouse that is a bed and breakfast and the owner also has an art & crafts building in the backyard. I fell in love with this frog and it now sits in the garden in the front of the house so I get to see it every time I walk in the front door. They specializes in fine art, painted furniture and fabrics, whimsical stone animals for home and garden, puppets with attitude and lots more great items. We really enjoyed talking to the owner and discovered that she had lived in New York State for a number of years and since we are originally from New York State we had some common ground. When we went back to Stowe a few years later we made sure to stop by again. This time I bought a turtle and you can see part of it in the upper right hand corner. They also offer first aid services so if we make it back to Stowe, will take the frog – his one eye needs to be touched up and the turtle has faded a bit. If you ever make it to Stowe, stop by and you will be in for a real treat

Decided to stop by the library on the way home and see if anyone brought back some new best sellers over the weekend Managed to pick up four books. On my way back to the car, I was wondering what to do for my photo today – something besides flowers for a change. I have always liked this bench in the library gardens and thought I would give take a couple of shots
