For those who remember me from before my long blogging break,
you may have noticed a lack of posts from Vermont
It's been a busy couple of months
- and our trips to Away have been sporadic at best.
So last weekend as we crossed the border into the Green Mountain State
it felt like - ahhhhhhhhh - mountain air!
our hectic week at work was left behind
and Saturday morning, with no real plans
we set off for the old Grandma Moses homestead
which is actually across the border in New York
yeah, well, I didn't say this was going to be about Vermont...
home of artist Will Moses - and the Mt. Nebo Gallery
- beautiful farmland and rustic fences

- I'm counting at least four in the photo below
(to make up for last week - my lame fence segment and dock railing - with is kind of like a fence)
and here's a familiar face - one of the cats from the Vermont Catamount Prowl
- we first stumbled upon this (and posted about), back in 2013
"The Spirit of Vermont" by Will Moses
and a good reminder for this Veteran's Day weekend
to be thankful for all the sacrifices they have made for our country!
(the Veterans, that is - not the cats - but cats are cool, too)

We're headed back to Away this weekend
- two in a row - yippee!
Enjoy your weekend!
A definite Away win win situation! Fantastic fence finds and barns too and I even spy a stonewall in there too!
ReplyDeleteHave another great weekend away!
Hello, looks like a great getaway. Love the countryside and fence scenes. Happy Thursday, enjoy your day and the weekend ahead!
ReplyDeleteKaren, such a wonderful collection of rural America scenes. I invite you to share barns beginning every Sunday at The Barn Collective.

Good to know u continued to be away unlike away from here :) I like these fences however they look
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a fence like that wooden one in the first three photos. It's really fascinating! Enjoy your weekend Away...it sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI hope this finds you and yours doing well. May we display your header on our new site directory? As it is now, the site title (linked back to its home page) is listed, and we think displaying the header will attract more attention. In any event, we hope you will come by and see what is going on at SiteHoundSniffs.com.
ReplyDeleteI just love fences like this, and these are such beauties, Karen.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!

ReplyDeleteWe have mountain lions in our neck of the woods but they mostly stay in the high peaks and don't come down into the valley.
