Road Trip.

10-10-11 VERMONT: Another gorgeous, warm day. This morning I painted the new trim and most of the old trim around the back door of the old mudroom. Changed the water filters, turned off the outside water and did a few other seasonal chores.

This afternoon we went looking for color. We drove north on I-95 to Peachum, VT, about 40 miles. Peachum is a beautiful small New England hillside town with all the usual features—white church, cemetery, general store, farms, fences, dirt roads, cows. The color was good on the highway, but past peak at Peachum. We headed west to Danville, Cabot, Joe’s Pond, Plainfield and Montpelier, then picked up I-89 and came south to Sharon and then home. The color is peak here now and heading south. And we go south tomorrow, too, to NJ.
