Another warm day but not as hot as it has been. Did a short walk around the grounds of the Inn
Went to Union Underground for dinner. Great burgers. We never noticed this place before even though it’s been there for ten years. Then we walked to see the new bridge on the river walk. They are still working on it so you can’t walk across
travel day so not much of a chance to take pictures
Last morning in Vermont. View from the Squire House
Another beautiful day in Vermont
I try to take a photo of red barn every time we are at the Squire House
Decided to take a drive to Kelly Stand Road. It’s been years since we were there. A lot of the leaves had fallen but a got a couple of good shots
We both got massages today. If you are ever in Manchester, Vermont check out Blew Skies Holistic Massage. Bess is awesome
Then we drove back to Bennington to pick up Michael’s hat that we left at our first stop
Some pictures around Squire House grounds
It’s 6:30 pm and it’s 86 degrees in Vermont and it’s going to be hot and humid for next few days
Stopped at the Northshire Bookstore – my favorite bookstore. They have a new section Blind Date with a Book.
Staying at the Squire House again. Owners told us it was our 17th visit
Rainy fall day
Marble House Project is a multi disciplinary artist residency program
Orvis is a must if you are ever in Manchester, Vermont. It’s Michael favorite store but he didn’t find anything today. I think that’s a first.
Dorset Marble Quarry opened in 1785 and is the first marble quarry in the US. it supplied marble to the New York Public Library, and several amazing mansions in NYC. Today the quarry is a much loved place for swimming
Old grist mill on Dorset Hollow Road
Relaxing in front of a fire Perfect ending to a fall day in Vermont
Last morning in Vermont. 4 days went by fast. we have been going to the Squire House in Dorset for over 10 years
Pond behind the house
Norwegian Wood Piles. It’s a space saving wood stacking technique. Once the barn was full of firewood they had to find a place for the rest of the firewood.
Made it home in time to see the sunset
So happy to be back at one of our favorite bed and breakfasts. Roger and Gay always take such good care of us. We arrived on Thursday and the temperatures were in the 70s but by Saturday morning there was snow with temperatures in the 30s
