Another Groundhog Day has dawned and Punxsutawney Phil has spoken.
I love watching all the hoopla on PCN TV ... but I'm not sure I buy Phil's "early spring" declaration, much as I want to.
But here are a few photos snapped while watching the grand ceremony this morning.
Spring? We can only hope!
It's winter! It snowed!
And here are a few photos from this morning.
Enjoy!
Rain, humidity, heat -- that's been the theme for August so far.
I keep hoping that September will be better, but some forecasts say it will be a very warm autumn.
Sigh...
I can only dream of cooler days and nights while snapping a few more summer scenes.
If I were a kid, I'd probably be angry that somehow it's August. I'd know that it soon would be time to head back to school; that summer had somehow flown by so quickly.
But I'm no kid and I'm not complaining that I flipped another page on the calendar this morning.
For me, it just means we're getting closer to autumn, my favorite time of year.
But here are a few summer photos as we start a new month...
It wouldn't be the Fourth of July without Upper Salford's Red, White and Blue parade.
Here are just a few photos of this great event today.
Yes, it was a hot morning, but that didn't stop us from enjoying this parade!
Here's my final salute to Vermont from my recent trip there.
Sigh.
Of course we had to stop at Ben & Jerry's!
And when in Waterbury, you have to check out Prohibition Pig. Look at this mac and cheese!
On our last day there earlier in May, they finally opened the road over Smugglers' Notch. It is closed from autumn to spring, because they can't plow at the top where the very narrow one-lane road snakes among the huge boulders. So we were excited to hit the road and cross that mountain.
On the mountain road... Don't be fooled; the water is crystal clear.
So happy the road reopened...
And then on to Rock Art Brewery in Morrisville...
Last day in Stowe...
Such a great time, but vacations are always too short! Maybe I'll be lucky enough to visit again.
