Days like these ...

... I sure love living at Forest Echo Farm!

I love living here most of the time, but these gorgeous days make it even more worthwhile!

East Corinth

On Tuesday Jason and I took a little road trip.  He had an appointment in a part of Vermont that is referred to as "the northeast kingdom" and I had the day off work, so we decided to do a little leaf-peeping (that's seriously what it's called!) on the way back.  We were really excited to see that the village of East Corinth was not too far off the path.  It's one of THE photo-perfect fall shots of Vermont ... white church with lovely steeple surrounded by a tiny village, farms and oodles of multi-colored trees.

The drive to East Corinth was lovely - we got lost on some of the country roads and had more time than expected to soak up this incredible beauty that God has created all around us in trees as they prepare for winter.  Some of the colors just seem completely unnatural! It's really breathtaking.

Photos of East Corinth usually look something like this - nice, isn't it?

Perhaps when most the photos were taken, there was no paved main street through town or perhaps they've just been re-touched? This is what it looked like for us:

There was no way that we could see to get up a hill and get an angle to anything remotely similar to the photos we've seen or even a place to snap a nice photo of the church.  A bit disappointing.  

By far the coolest thing in East Corinth was this awesome fire station.

Hello Fall Colors!

Things here have been getting prettier by the day.  The trees are dazzling in their array of color.  I can hardly contain myself when we're out driving, it is just SO pretty!  Of course, it would be nice if it would stop raining for a day or two so that we could really enjoy them, but I guess I can't be too picky.

There are many days when the fact that we live up a 2.5 mile dirt road can be annoying.  It takes 7-10 minutes just to get to a paved road!  But, at times like this I LOVE driving to and from our house.

Even the view from our outhouse is pretty darn nice!
