rural artists- winhall, vermont

Saturday was one of those perfect Spring days in Vermont-
the kind that brings everyone outdoors.
Loading the kayaks on top of the car, I spied this artist absorbed in his painting.


Yeah - stealth photographer, I am not.
I'd really like to take a peek at his painting, though - wouldn't you?

This coming weekend is Open Studio Weekend across the state of Vermont.
Artists and artisans are opening their studios to the public
- like one big statewide open house.
So many great places to visit - I'm needing a strategy.

What is going on in your little corner of the world?

barn charm, a prize find - jamaica, vermont

Saturday afternoon -
a lazy lunch at our favorite coffee shop -
a planned trip to the pond for some kayaking...


Chatting about this and that,
Greg asks our friend about some photos posted on facebook,
and this is where he directed us...


Greg was scouting for new mountain bike rides
I was scouting for barns (what else?)




We both agree
- although for different reasons


This place is a prize find!


And what would a Vermont farm be without a weathered wood barn?
Happy Monday!
