The cluster of states in New England is tiny. You can drive in and out and across them in very little time if you want. I flew into Boston on Friday to meet with some good people for dinner, and then we all hauled it up to New Hampshire. So far we have jumped across the Connecticut River into Vermont, back to New Hampshire, into Vermont, back to New Hampshire. There is snow on the ground and daytime temperatures have been in the 30s (°F). I’m feeling quite comfortable. I hope your weekend is going just as swimmingly.

Hello from Vermont! Enjoy your visit, and drink lots of fresh syrup; it’s the beverage of choice around here!

I live in Vermont too, though further up north in the “big city” area. Have a great time and enjoy not just the maple syrup but the cheeses*, meats, cider, locally distilled spirits… etc. etc.!
* Two of my favorites: Blue Ledge chevre, and Cobb Hill’s Ascutney Mountain, which is somewhat like a gruyere.

What a delightful, storybook place! I love the blues of the hills. Enjoy!

Welcome to New England! Yeah, no snow right now in Boston—sorry. I wish you got to spend more time in Boston. Hopefully when you fly back. It’s my favorite city (and hometown, so I guess I’m a bit biased)

So nice to hear you were in our neck of the woods. Last weekend was perfect weather for sugaring, but winter is making a comeback with a nice little storm coming our way. Too bad you couldn’t stay longer to enjoy!

Gorgeous photos, as usual! I live right around the corner from the Butcher Shop and was delighted to see that you got to experience a bit of ths South End. You must come back soon!

Laurel – oh yes, we definitely nibbled our way through lots of the local goodness. It was amazing and wonderful!
Jill – I can just imagine how incredible it must look in autumn.

Stephus – no way! How cool :) Boston is such a great city.
Rocky Mountain Woman – isn’t it? Yoda, especially.
Abbe – :)
