I finally found the box of photos that I've been looking for. It didn't have everything I thought was in there, but it did hold a few things that I wanted. The pictures I'm going to post today are from a trip to Vermont four years ago. I always wanted to go there in the fall, and it was so beautiful there. I'd love to go back.
One of the places we went was Shelburne Museum, which was founded in 1947 by Electra Havemeyer Webb. Mrs. Webb had 18th and 19th century buildings moved to the land from New England and New York to house the collections that are displayed there.
The first picture (up top) is just something I took on the grounds. The next picture (to the left) is a lighthouse that was relocated from Lake Champlain. I thought it was so odd to have it just standing in the middle of nowhere like it was. To the left of the lighthouse is the Ticonderoga, which is a steamboat that used to operate on Lake Champlain until the early 1950s. We approached from the other side of the steamboat, which is an even stranger sight standing in the middle of the grass on the grounds.
I would love to go back up there soon. Maybe next year. I don't know if we'd go back in the fall, but I'd like it if we did. This is my favorite time of year. I just wish that the weather had been better this year, because I'd really like to get out there and take some pictures. On the bright side, I'm almost done with my baby blanket. Just eight more inches to go before I can put the border on. I'll take more pictures of it once it's done.
