I love the colors and plan on making this quilt very soon. Thank You Sue!
The Chab is on vacation this week. We are planning to do some work around the house, and take a few day trips if the weather permits. Let me just say that I love New England! I live in western Massachusetts and can drive south and be in Connecticut in less than a half an hour, or head north and end up in Vermont or New Hampshire in about one hour.
On Sunday we decided to head north to Brattleboro Vermont. There's a little record shop Chab likes to visit. While he peruses the old vinyl, I hit a few of the neat shops along main street. Brattleboro is very artsy. One of places that I always visit is Twice Upon a Time, a neat antique shop where I picked up some vintage fabric...
Afterwards we jumped on Route 30, headed north for a little bit and stopped here for a late lunch.
New England is known for its covered bridges. The first one is in Vermont and I believe that it's the longest covered bridge in Vermont. The second one is in Massachusetts near Charlemont.
In Heath Mass. We discovered Berkshire Sweet Gold Maple Farm.
This syrup is made totally by solar power. We tried some on Monday morning. Yum!A few more sights along the Mohawk Trail...
Bears are big in this neck of the woods!
It is worth noting that the Native Americans who lived along the Mohawk trail and in Eastern region were primarily farmers and did not live in tepees. They lived in Wetus, Wigwams, and Longhouses, you can see their housing here.Enjoy your day!
