away for the weekend: rurality - the quiet season

rurality - the quiet season

Out for a Sunday drive
(although it was really Saturday - but you know what I mean)


I loved the way this little village looks nestled in the hills -
ready for winter.
It's that quiet time of year in Vermont.
Leaf peepers have gone home, and skiers are waiting for snow to arrive -


and all is very quiet in the countryside.


I apologize for my absenteeism lately.
All is well, I think I'm just adjusting to my new commute. It makes for a long day.
I am wishing you all a happy Halloween - stay safe!

  10. Karen,

    Looks like you had a beautiful "Sunday drive." I have always wanted to the the colors of Northeast America in the fall. I like your little Hereford calf!

    Glad to hear things are going good. Adjustment to a new schedule takes a little time.

  12. Hi Karen, I love the off-season here in Breckenridge! We have snow on the ground, but it will be around Christmas when our ski crowds start coming again. Love your little white-faced friend.

  17. What a beautiful place you live in! I have a longer commute too now that we've moved and it's been a very hard adjustment. If you drive, maybe some music ... if you bus a good book? I hope you get more comfortable with it soon.
