rural thursday


Well - as I suspected might happen, we missed peak foliage in Vermont.
All those farms, barns, and covered bridges nestled in the mountains ablaze in color.
Yep - I missed it.
Grrrrrr - sigh....
Okay - I'm over it. Better luck next year, and all that...
Anyway -
We were happy to spend last weekend with some very old friends (you know what I mean),
and after attending a really great craft show, we headed over to Taylor Farm to
replenish our cheese supply.



The chickens make me laugh - just a little bit (okay, maybe a lot).



And just look at all those bare trees!
Grrrrr
No really, I'm over it...


And if I knew a little more about farming,
I might understand what keeps the cows from walking over the edge...


One thing I do know - I always have fun visiting this farm.
And - they make some great Gouda!

    Hi Karen, you visited me and here I am visiting you. It's good to know others on the other side of the world! We stayed in Vermont a good few years ago and we missed the colour too! Joan

    Chickens make me laugh too! When I go to collect eggs in the afternoon they all come running up to me looking for kitchen scraps.

    Our trees were pretty colors for about 1 1/2 - 2 weeks. They are mostly bare or brown now. I blame the drought and wind.

    Most cattle don't like to step down steep places.

    I have never had fresh non-store cheese. I bet it is awesome!
