away for the weekend: walk and click - middlebury, vermont

walk and click - middlebury, vermont

A couple summers ago, Greg and I went on a bike ride that looped through the northern half of Vermont - roughly following Adventure Cycling's Green Mountains Loop.
375 miles of beautiful and charming villages, farms, hills and mountains.
(did I mention hills and mountains?)
The ride took us through Middlebury, Vermont - which I vowed to come back and visit someday -
sans bike shorts...


Last Sunday - which was supposed to be 60 degrees and sunny - seemed like the perfect day for taking a walk through a quaint little town.


Yeah - sunny and warm...
not so much.


I'm not sure how Greg managed to keep me from going into this store.
I may have to back, again, someday.


We enjoyed our walk, all the same.


And - as always in Vermont - rocks stacked for meditation.

I hope you all get a chance to get out this week and enjoy your neck of the woods a little.

    Is that a church tower in the background of photo #1? It looks very interesting to explore and I love the color of it.

    It's hard to be a Small Town Shop! There is always something unique calling your name.

    All your photos and not one person in sight! I'll say it's a quiet little town. It's also a very picturesque place.

    I love the sound of rushing water. Your photo almost makes it real! What a lovely town and that bridge is wonderful! I could stand there all day and just listen. I think I am in agreement, the store will have to be revisited when you have a big trunk to carry all the stuff you buy home with you! xx

    Ah yes New England. We been there three time twice on three week camping trips and once on a leaf peeping bus tour. After perusing your beautiful photos spouse and I have decided another trip there this summer is overdue...:)
