A Colorful Sunday in Vermont

Was up late blogging last two nights, so resorting to snapshots this evening. Had another great day in Vermont! Head home on Amtrak train tomorrow morning. I hear that H. and Punchy had a nice weekend, too--and they saw Figgy and Florida Orange for sushi last night. [It's important to me, when I go away alone, that my family is doing well back home. I guess everyone feels that way when they travel.] But just as when I leave Cape Cod, I am sad to leave this natural beauty and carefree break. Still, in the end, I know that everyday life cannot be just play and no work, not now. I pray that I can write productively on train ride home.

Meg's husband, Greg Morrill, just showed us this entertaining movie he made in 1974
on a Super 8 movie camera. It documents a 2-week ski vacation he took out West
 with about 9 friends when they were in their late 20s.
Slope footage is cool, as is music by The Who. 

Meggy and I walked about an hour this afternoon on the Stowe Recreation Path.
Love it. 77 hearts for that!

Love these skirts from First Chair Alpine Co. store at Stowe Mountain Lodge.
The shop also has really cute & colorful stuff by Kari Traa.

Gina, who works at First Chair, modeled this cute hat! Thanks, Gina [and Biff, too].

Meggy at the mountain.

Rug, $605, at Meggy's favorite Stowe Kitchen Bath & Linens store on Mountain Road.
Check the website! I know I will.

1. 10,941 steps on my fitbit today. The walk with Meggy and the shopping walks!
2. On the Stowe Path, we stopped for 5 minutes and leaned over a bridge to meditate, looking at rolling Little River. We're both trying to incorporate mediation into our lives. The 5 minutes went fast.
3. And: Meggy showed me a cool phone app called Relax Melodies. She downloaded it on my iPhone. Touch icons for sounds like rain, waves, etc. Thanks, Meggy!
4. She made a nice green salad with peppers and tomatoes to have with dinner.
5. About to brush teeth and get in bed and read Knitting Pearls, edited by Ann Hood. Writers write about knitting! Got at Bear Pond Books in Stowe yesterday.
