When I travel to teach my husband rarely travels with me. You see….. he has kind of a normal job. So, he cannot just pick-up and hit the road with his traveling wife. But, there are times when he does hit the road with me. And the Vermont Quilt Festival is one of those trips. Joe loves to fish. He has fished in Vermont many times over the years and thinks it is one of the best places to trout fish. Vermont is full of fish filled streams. We saw loads of wildlife: deer, a mink, a bear cub and a moose! Too bad we didn’t have our camera up in the front seat, but here are some of the sites we were able to photograph on our way to the show.
Vermont has over 50 covered bridges. Some are still in use, some are not and some are privately owned.
As we were driving on Route 7 we came upon this visually beautiful sight. This very large pond of blooming water lilies was right before our eyes.
These would be great colors for a quilt, don’t you think?
As I have traveled over the years I have never seen as many water falls as in Vermont. One falls is just a beautiful as the next.
This weekend is our 29th wedding anniversary. I’ve learned a lot of good things from Joe during our 32 years together but probably one of the most valuable lessons is to enjoy the ride. It’s not just about getting there. But, how you get there that matters.
In my next blog I’ll share some photos from the Vermont Quilt Festival.
