random five friday - happy labor day

We may not have seen any hawks last weekend, but the views from atop Putney Mountain were fantastic!

Yeah - you just never know what you'll find while hiking in the woods of Vermont.

Students are returning to the college campus where I work. It's beginning to feel a bit like Fall around here.

Today is the last day I'll be driving myself to work. Yep - I'm putting my daily commute into the hands of the MBTA

I'm wishing you all a wonderful weekend, and hope you find a few moments to relax from your labors.

Love, peace, and joy!

I am joining Nancy at A Rural Journal for Random Five Friday

tired and happy

There's a mountain in Putney, Vermont that is supposed to be a great place to watch hawks.

I've been wanting to do this ever since I read about it last Fall.

So, a couple weekends ago we headed out for this little adventure - 

but - I really should have read the blurb a little more closely.

Yeah - the hawk watch is in September and October.

Oops - well

along the way, as I sat chatting with a friend in the car,

Greg spotted this barn .

You know that feeling you get when you put in a hard day's work,

and at the end of the day you're feeling tired, but also happy?

That's what this barn makes me think of -

a cheerful, tired old barn.

Oh - and the hawk watch - I'll try again in a few more weeks.

But all was not lost. Not only did I get to take these photos, 

but -as it turns out Putney, Vermont also has a winery -

with wine tasting
