a trip to vermont

morgana took the train to vermont wednesday morning.

 dinner at her friend's aunt's house in burlington.

garden flowers on my friend's kitchen table. my friend's garden is . . bountiful.

 at shelburne farms.

i always love june for its roses.

a delicious shelburne breakfast . . it looks like eggs benedict.

dancing isadora duncan's tanagra figures . . 

the gang's all here and went biking along lake champlain.

 beautiful lake champlain.

 she met up with my sister and brother-in-law who happened to be in town visiting my nephew.

my nephew has a hot tub!

dinner with good friends at penny cluse cafe in burlington.

 visiting the food coop before returning to her friend's home . . 

sunflowers outside the coop . .

 flowers in my friend's garden: digitalis or foxglove

evening primrose, oenothera

i know that my friend spends a lot of time taking care of her garden. this year she's growing salt and pepper cucumbers, tomatoes and basil. she says the butterflies are beautiful, but that she's noticed fewer insects this year.

i can hear the bees buzzing in the sunshine and the crickets chirping in the moonlight even though i'm not there . . 

one morning they all drove to bristol to go swimming and to see the farmer's market. while there, they ran into senator bernie sanders.

summer flora . . friday


we biked along the burlington bikeway today, and chanda met zora. we were concerned that she might have been lost . . but after going around the corner to knock on some doors, we found her owner who said that keeping an eye on the bikeway is one of zora's favorite pastimes.

we also discovered a few really lovely beaches along the bikeway. we hope to come swimming here one day with jason!

afterwards, we made a nice dinner and rolled into bed exhausted, but ready to get up the next day to start for home.
