Hi Jenn,
I just returned to the deep freeze(Maine) from Orlando, got into Boston and donned on the parka, headband, gloves… I hope you are back in FL now as we’re in for a big one tomorrow.

I liked your photo in front of Robert Frost’s grave. An interesting little story too. I remember about 30 years (I’m lying 40 years) ago my Dad bought my Mom a book of Robert Frost poems as a gift. They quickly became some of my favorites.

You said it Sandi! But to look at me in that heavy coat you would have thought it was snowing! Guess my blood has thinned out since becoming a Floridian.

I’m glad you made your trip to Vermont in the fall~ and not now! You would be needing some wine to warm you up.

Hi Sunita, Thanks! I had a great time and was very happy.

Hi Sylvia! yay! You should definately go to VT. If you do let me know and I’ll met you there to show you around!

Emiline! Hi! Surviving up there in the cold and storms? Yeah, I hear you on the blackberry wine. But it is such a great idea. Robert Frost is cool.

Ha ha. Your face in the last picture is priceless. I’m not so big on the local wine, either. We have local blackberry wine, but it’s so sweet, I can’t drink it. It would be great to reduce down, and drizzle over ice cream.

I like the first picture; it’s really cool.

I also like Robert Frost.
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

Eh?

Hi Padmaja! Thank you! It really was a great time visiting with friends and being in a place that you know so well.

Hi Suzana! Thank you! I would love to try some wine in Portugal, because if I make it to Spain, I am certainly stopping in Portugal as well!

Thanks Cynthia!

Those are lovely photos – it must have been a great trip! I’m afraid I never had blueberry “wine”… I dare to say that if you’re coming to Spain, you also have to stop in Portugal and try our wines. I love the fist photo!
