After what seemed like an endless streak of good weather,
last weekend was cold and rainy.
I didn't mind too much, as I was in the mood for a lazy
lie-around-the-house-and read-with-a-nice-warm-cup-of-tea
sort of weekend.
We did manage to get out a little bit and enjoy the foliage,
which I must say, is spectacular this year.
I took these a couple of weeks ago when the leaves were just starting to turn.
I think this is an abandoned sugar shack - although I'm not sure.
It sits in an area of Jamaica, Vermont that was flooded by Hurricane Irene.
This week the village is celebrating the reopening of the bridge on the main street through town,
an exciting step forward in recovering from the devastation of Irene.

ReplyDeletei never knew there was a Jamaica, Vermont. i will have to look into that. i am curious for more info. great shots. so beautiful!! ( :
ReplyDeletehave a great week. gosh, it is almost over, wow! ( :
Oh this is beautiful I am not sure if it is a sugar shack it is different than the ones around here but that does not mean anything. Oh you are right the leaves are gorgeous this year. Great shots. B
ReplyDeleteSometimes I really love a cold and rainy weekend - especially if I have some TV shows to catch up on! TV marathons on cool rainy days are awesome :)
ReplyDeleteLovely area. Never heard of Jamaica, Vermont.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a relaxing weekend; we need those every once in a while...
ReplyDeleteI know you are too young to remember a song called "the sugar shack" but it was very popular and it's the first thing I thought about when I saw your pictures....I guess now I will hum it the rest of the day....Actually, the sugar shack in your photograph kinda looks like an old school house but both shots are beautiful with the fall leaves all around....
I like relaxing weekends :) The leaves are really starting to look pretty there!
ReplyDeleteRain sometimes allows us to live quietly for a time and rejuvenate. I love that little shed and the barren tree standing sentry. Great old barn wood.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fall scene - love that weathered wood against the bright foliage. Glad to hear about the rebuilding after the hurricane. Love those cozy, rainy weekends. :) xo
ReplyDeleteit's a beautiful building/shed, tucked perfectly between the foilage!!
ReplyDeleteand have i ever told you how much i love a stay-at-home, rain day????? adore might be the right word!!
oohhhh and i just love a happy ending, especially one that's attached to a storm story. we are still waiting for ours here at the jersey shore!!
I'm glad the bridge has been rebuilt..it is a good sign that things are looking up for those affected by the flood. Lovely fall scenery...I'm ready for our leaves to start turning..but think it will be another month before they do.
ReplyDeleteThe weathered wood and the cupola add to the quaint little building!
ReplyDeleteI'm not ready for the rains but I am ready for cool sweater weather.
This is a cute little building set in the fall foliage. I've never seen a sugar shack. Glad you enjoyed your rainy,stay indoors weekend.
ReplyDeleteKinda sad to see these places abandoned:(
ReplyDeleteSweet little sugar shack...bet it is gorgeous up your way!!
ReplyDeleteI showed this to my hubby and he said..."We'll take it". :)))

ReplyDeleteThe photos of the building is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreetings, RW & SK
The shack fits right in with the fall colours.
ReplyDeleteYou never know they might be still using that place :) Wonderful photos and I bet it was great to have a relaxing weekend.
ReplyDeleteYou get the very best scenic shots !
ReplyDeleteGreat eye you have !!
Fantastic shots on the sugar shack! Great autumn colors… hope the village recovers fully
ReplyDeleteoh i love it and i like the name sugar shack!
ReplyDeleteI think rain is a key element in the whole Autumn color thing -- we haven't had much lately, thus the lack of any real leaf-turning. Your photos are always so charming and rustic. Enjoy your weekend Karen.
