Vermont

I admit....some states intrigue me more than others.  Vermont is a state that both Dan and I wanted to explore.  Our friends Mat and Marty live in central Vermont.  Last winter when we were in Cedar Key, they had invited us to their place for a few days.  We arrived and settled in for three days.

I love the old horse barns on their property!  Marty was a master gardener and their yard is amazing!

We would then move to a campground close to them for another week of exploring!

We sure didn't need to go far to do some exploring.  One morning, Mat, Dan and I set out across the street. Dan and Mat were quite intrigued with what we found.

A very old GMC truck

On Mat and Marty's property, there is a memorial for a B-17 that crashed in 1943.  Wow!

   Mat led us to the crash site.  There were only small remnants of the crash left.

Small pieces found by others visiting the crash site

Dan found these larger pieces in the woods nearby.

Mat had told us that several people had found things by scratching in the dirt.  We crouched down to see if we could find anything.  Wow - we found a bullet, two buttons from uniforms, a switch and a few other items we could not identify.

It was very fascinating to us.  The "official" word is that this plane crashed due to sabotage. However, local folks believe that it was pilot error.

While at Mat and Marty's, each afternoon, we would enjoy "nosh".  Marty got us hooked on this word which means "little snack".   We got to enjoy these views while "noshing"!!

Lovely views

So many hummingbirds

Cotton Candy skies with the moon

Yep - we love Vermont.  Thank you, Mat and Marty, for opening up your home to us.  We have had a wonderful, wonderful time.
