Icy finger waves...
I am an enormous fan of the music our parents grew up with, and "Moonlight in Vermont," is one of my favorites. The unofficial state song of Vermont was first recorded -- remember records? -- in 1944 and sung by Margaret Whiting. It's been covered by many of the great popular singers of our lives, including Frank Sinatra, Rosemary Clooney, Sam Cooke, Billie Holiday, Brook Benton and Willie Nelson. Each verse evokes a different season in Vermont and today we're featuring winter, with a visit to one of the most beautiful towns in this beautiful state, Stowe.

Just looking at these pictures makes me so homesick for Vermont and lonely for my Vermont friends. I don't usually head north in the winter, but donned my boots and ultra-heavy down coat and headed to Burlington to visit my dear K and goddaughter, J. I am so glad that I went north and had the opportunity to spend time with them in 2020. It was definitely one of the high points of the year. Here's to another visit to Stowe and friends in the year ahead.
Is there any place you're longing to see in 2021? I've got a list, but the top places seem to be throughout New England. Fingers crossed for new pictures before this year is over.
As ever, thanks for visiting. Take care and stay safe.
