Decided to take it easy on our last full day in Vermont. This afternoon we walked to the country store and stopped to take some pictures of the pond.

Took this at the alpaca farm. Could not resist the red barns and the mountains in the background.
Shortly after we got back to the bed and breakfast there was a bad thunderstorm. There was one clap of thunder that was so loud it scared us all. There was a lightning strike nearby and it knocked out the phones, internet and tv service at the bed and breakfast we are staying at. Service did not get restored until late this afternoon so that’s why I am just now posting pictures from yesterday.

Is this my good side?
We also stopped at the Marlee Alpaca Farm in Pawlet. They have 97 alpacas and they were just recently sheared. We were surprised how close we could get

We went on a three hour Backroads Discovery tour this afternoon. We have been to Vermont many many times but still got to see some new sites. This marble quarry is in Dorset and is the country’s first commercial marble quarry. It opened in 1785 Over the next 130 years, this quarry along with others in the area provided marble for headstones, lintels, hearths and the like in the early years, followed by monumental uses and later building stone used in many notable buildings, such as the New York Public Library, the library of Brown University, and Memorial Continental Hall of the Daughters of the American Revolution in Washington, D.C. Several mansions on New York City’s 5th Avenue were built of Dorset marble, and many bank buildings across the land were graced by interiors lined with polished Dorset marble, some of which was attractively streaked or tinted with green or bluish colors.
In the summer it’s a very popular spot for swimming

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

Not many great photo ops these days so decided to use some of my Vermont photos. This is in Weston. We always like to stop in Weston to visit the Vermont Country Store and a Japanese photographer has a great gallery – like to see his latest work.
