Looking for the Colors

Friday we searched for colored leaves in Vermont. No luck. The color was just not there. We were probably too early. We did find unfortunately some of the damage that Hurricane Irene had inflicted along Route 14.

Half the road missing along Route 107 in Gaysville. Work is ongoing.

We were glad we came. Those tough Vermonters are working away repairing washed out roads and houses and their spirit is inspiring.

Here they are with houses buried in mud but they are helping one another and just getting the job done.

Meanwhile the Vermonters are still eating well. So are their visitors. Fresh eggs, homemade pancakes and waffles with real maple syrup.

Yes, go to Vermont. It is more than leaf peeping. So many beautiful sights. And the breakfasts.
