Not Kentucky



I've come to the conclusion that there was a tragic error made when I was born.  I was meant to be a New Englander and somehow I was mistakenly given to some people who lived in the south.  How did that happen?

We are in Vermont for a family wedding and I just may not get on the plane to come back to Kentucky.  Above is the view off the porch of the house we've rented on the shores of Lake Champlain.  Why would anyone ever leave?  Some of my pleasure in being here is due in large part to the cooler temperatures.  (I did see that it is 56 degrees at home on the farm this morning - just my luck to leave home when the heat finally breaks ..... oh well.)

  1. It is lovely there!! I'm with you- would much rather wear hoodies and sweaters and have it cold out! You can only take off so much in this heat!! Have fun!!

  2. What a beautiful view. Hope you had a little time to sit there and knit and relax. I love summer because we have a pool to stay cool. But I realize working on a farm in that heat is exhausting. Glad your getting a little time away :)

  3. I've always thought the same, and then I remember their winter.

  4. Welcome to Vermont. For those of us who live here full time... it sure is a special place. Did you get to visit one of our fine LYS? Pick apples? Visit Shelburne Farms? Our winters might be hard, but they sure are a great excuse to sit inside and knit! Julie
