Pink in Vermont

I travel to Vermont often to visit my mom. Along the way I always stop at Stowe.

The gardens at Stowe against the beautiful mountain view

is always spectacular.

The quaint and the beautiful seem to bloom here.

Finding pink in Vermont was an easy thing to do,

and I knew just what to do with my photos.

Today is Pink Saturday and Bev from How Sweet The Sound is hosting, so stop by and visit all the pink posts.

Nobody sings Moonlight in Vermont better than Billy Holiday.

Have a lovely weekend.

Yesterday I visited one of my favorite farms and the produce looked so gorgeous. The people that work there take so much time working on the vegetable displays and the flowers inside are beautifully arranged as well.

Outside you can find plants, pumpkins and baskets of produce. I stopped to pick up a bouquet of vegetables for my mom. She is an amazing cook and better than flowers she loves it when I bring a basket of vegetables.

While in the market, I saw the most magical sight, a young girl dancing all over the market. She was practicing all of her ballet movements as she helped her mother shop. It brought back memories of all the magical sights in the Hong Kong marketplaces. I took out this sketch I did from memory a while back, and digitally colored it this morning...sketch-a-memory.

I have always enjoyed going to vegetable and flower markets. While in Hong Kong, there were wonderful markets in a place called Happy Valley. I love the sights and sounds found in the marketplace.

After I packed up the vegetables, I headed for the drive to Vermont. The drive usually takes about four hours, but it seems like only a short drive because of the scenery.

I enjoy the drive to Vermont,

and the fall foliage decorating the White Mountains took my breath away.

The sunset was magnificent against the mountains framed by Lake Champlain.

Sunsets in Vermont are always a beautiful scene.

The song for this post is Moonlight In Vermont sung by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong.

A lovely day, ended by watching the sunset over Lake Champlain.

Weekend in Vermont

Joy, originally uploaded by bluebirdsandteapots.

I went to visit my mom in Vermont this weekend. It was great to see my sister, Susan and to visit a few fun places. It never seems long enough...I wish I could stay a few weeks instead of just a few days. When I go to Burlington Vermont I always feel like I am going home. I have never lived there, but visits to my sister and my mom have made me fall in love with the lovely place.

I secretly wished my daughter, Sarah had attended University of Vermont. What a beautiful campus, and they always seem to be improving the campus with every visit.

My sister Susan suggested that we go to the Lake Champlain Chocolate factory for a cup of hot chocolate. Here is our mom enjoying a cup of delicious hot chocolate in front of the factory window. I don't think I can ever look at a backdrop like that and not remember Lucille Ball stuffing chocolate in her mouth as the conveyor belt moved faster and faster.

Walking along Church Street and out and about Burlington, I found this so Vermont store downtown and photographed a bit of the ambiance.

It was very cold and snow flakes were falling on and off, it was just a preview of winter in Vermont. Until December when I will return to capture some more Vermont joy....so the song I chose for this post is December in Vermont.
