ah, Vermont...

Is there a more winter-picture-perfect-wonderland than Vermont, USA?

We have had the good fortune to stay 2 nights in an old farmhouse in Strafford where Justin lives. He and Kat exchange work for lodging in the attached apartment (think gardening in the summer and snow shoveling/plowing, etc. in the winter among many other things).
The rustic kitchen with it's woodburning stove is our Grand Central, and we've eaten, watched movies, gone snow-shoeing/cross country skiing,
and done more visiting.

Nana even managed to bring along materials for Sadie to have her first gingerbread house experience, and gave her her first exposure to a piano as well.

It's gorgeous here:

We're headed back to MA tomorrow to ring in the New Year in Merrimac.
