thankful for veterans

A quiet Sunday afternoon in Townshend, Vermont


And as I enjoy a day off today, puttering around my house,
I know that the children of Townshend Elementarty School express it best



To all who serve or have served
- and their families -
in war time and in peace


a heartfelt thank you!!

rurality - vermont schoolhouse

Last weekend during a visit to Chicago, Chicago-daughter and I took a road trip up the coast of Wisconsin to beautiful Door County. 
Wineries, apples, lighthouses... what a beautiful place!
 I am kicking myself for neglecting to take a shot of a quilt barn, though...

Anyway, I hope to have some photos ready soon, but in the meantime -
I spied this little schoolhouse during our "Sunday drive" in Vermont -
 a couple of weekends ago.


As I was contemplating stepping over the fence to get a shot from the other side of the tire swing,
I noticed the curtains in the windows.
I'm guessing the owner wouldn't have appreciated me trampling all over their lawn...


But, what a cute little cottage this must be!


I am joining Rurality at The View from Right Here

Have a great day!
