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
Beautiful fall day in Vermont
Prentiss Pond in Dorset
Scott Bridge. Longest wooden bridge in Vermont
Stopped at a glass studio
Dummerstone Covered Bridge was built in 1872 and is longest covered bridge in Vermont
Stairs to get down to the riverbank
Red leaves are my favorite
Then we stopped in Newfane
Left Cape Cod and now we are in Vermont. Happy to see there are still leaves on the trees. Hope to get some great fall shots tomorrow. Tonight we went to hear a barbershop quartet One of the innkeepers is in the group. Had a great time
Take me out to the ballgame
Last morning in Vermont. When we left it was 70 degrees. We have been visiting Dorset for years but never stopped at Dorset bakery until this morning. What a great find
It was gray and overcast
Pretty flowers by the fence and parking lot
We usually try to travel during the week but because of a mix up with medication we decided to travel on a Saturday. We decided to leave later than usual so we left at 11. Traffic wasn’t bad even thought it rained on and off in New York and New Jersey. Google maps advised us to take 287 instead of 17 and Garden State. Made good time til we had a downpour on 287 and I missed an exit. 287 might be a little longer but will give it a try again. Made it home in 7 hours with 4 stops
It’s good to be home
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
June 20, 2024
Another very hot and humid day. Decided to drive to Brandon. We have never been there and the innkeepers recommended it. We drove along Route 40. It was very scenic and there were several lakes
We missed the turn off for Route 73 but we discovered another covered bridge on alternate road
Loved all the hot air balloons
There was a nice little park in town
Not all the churches in Vermont are white
Then we headed to Weston
Not much water going over the dam
Old building by the mill
Then we stopped at The Vermont Country Store. We have been there numerous times and it’s usually very crowded but not today
A very warm humid day. Temperatures hit 90. Dorset Union Store is great. We love their sandwiches and cookies
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
Last morning at the Stone Hill Inn. This time we stayed in the Cotton Brook room
Waterfalls in Pawlett Vermont
Loved the sign on this shop in Rochester Vermont
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
