Temperatures were only in the 70s today. Went to the Dorset Theater and saw the play Salvage. It was a funny and heartwarming new play.
Really enjoyed it they have a play in July called the Book Club Play. Would like to see that but Vermont is a 7 hour drive
Another hot humid day decided to drive to Weston. Stopped at Vermont Country Store. They used to have all kinds of food to sample but no more.
The gazebo on the town green is ready for July 4th
Summer has arrived. Too hot to do much today. We did a few errands and then spent rest of day in air conditioned Inn
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
Last morning in Vermont. View from the Squire House
Another beautiful day. Stopped at my favorite bookstore. They have reorganized and the mystery section is in a different location with lots of room to move around
Among the Manchester River Walk. If you enlarge photo you will see a waterfall. Path is very rocky and full of tree roots so this was as close as I could get
