My Winter Wonderland (Part 1)

Christmas 2013 didn’t quite feel like Christmas until I started to see the snow but waking up in Vermont Christmas Day morning, oh I can’t even begin to express how nice it felt. My first sight out the window was breathtaking!

Christmas Day 2013

Granted, a few short days before I arrived, an ice storm ravaged the area (read more about it here). Although there was damage, it left some areas looking absolutely beautiful. So beautiful I’ve had to break this down into two posts. Here are some photos from my time at home. I hope you love them as much as I do. I was blessed to grow up in a beautiful place!

This is at my brother and sister-in-laws house. Hope they weren’t planning on hanging laundry!

Vermont Ice Storm 2013

22 Replies

Over the holiday’s, I headed back up north to Vermont. When I arrived, I had just missed the ice storm that took out power, phone lines and many, many, many trees. Although the ice made everything look like a winter wonderland, there was a lot of damage.

For this week, I thought we’d take a look at the damage first. Completely different in comparison to the ice storm we saw in Texas at the beginning of the month. The ice was EVERYWHERE!

Check out the layer of ice on the above signs. Amazing how something so thin can accumulate so much ice.

The following pictures (along with the initial photo in this post) were all taken down one stretch of back road in Berkshire. In my opinion, this road was the hardest hit that we saw and this was about a week after the ice storm. Goes to show how much work needed and was being done elsewhere.

These last few pictures were taken between Berkshire and Enosburg. Hidden drives are now pretty hidden… Hopefully, the cold madness stops and everyone can have their electricity, phone lines and properties restored soon!

South End Art Hop, Vermont

6 Replies

The South End Art Hop is an annual city wide event that captures, celebrates and showcases artists from around the state. Weekend wide, you can walk the streets, explore, visit local businesses, listen to musicians and just find new appealing sights in the art industry. I was lucky enough to be back in Vermont this year to attend and catch up with an old friend. Definitely an awesome time!

Perusing in and out of buildings, you’ll never know what you’ll come across…

You may find the most interesting things in the most unfamiliar of places…

Perhaps if you pay enough attention, things may be right under your nose…

This was an exhibit of friends who were tending to areas while friends were out of town, and they photographed themselves. Right after I saw this, I realized this chair was in the next room…

This was one of my favorite pieces. I love the old barn. Very Vermont and Texas (minus the mountain in the back).

My friend Jen from college has been doing stand up comedy in Burlington. A few of her fellow comedians are part of the Improv show that was going on. I’ve never attended an Improv show but it was HILARIOUS – if you happen to get a chance to check one out (or more specifically these folks)… do it! This is a great event in one of the most beautiful cities!
