Leaf Season II.

9-7-18 VERMONT: We had one day of sunshine amongst all the cloudy, rainy weather and decided to drive north to Peacham and Joe’s Pond in Danville. We took back roads, had little traffic, took many pix and saw increasingly better color. In Caledonia county the color was vivid and at peak.

Peacham, VT is a small town on a hilltop filled with maple trees. The population is about 700, but there are way more folks in the cemetery. The views from the cemetery look out at distant mountains and valleys, all painted red and orange.

We went on to Danville and Joe’s Pond where we stopped for ice cream cones at the general store. We came back on I-91.

Otherwise, I have done a few chores, pulling plant supports and hardware out of the gardens and a little weeding. Brady the horse blundered through the barrier around the new pasture and left a few hoof prints, but did no damage. We lead him back to the other side with carrots.

New blooms: witch-hazel.


I call this high drama.

I think this one was from Bradford, VT.

Brady the horse seems unmoved by the color.
