The Beauty of Leddy Park

This Cherry Tree has to be the most beautiful tree in Leddy Park this spring. Hopefully we will be able to prevent any disc golf being in the park, and thus taking the chance that this tree will be cut down to make a path to a fairway.  If you want to help save the woodlands and this tree in Leddy Park, please go to www.leddypark.org.  Thank you.  Carolyn 

James Jeffords Science Hall under construction

The latest design by Architect Freeman French Freeman for UVM is under construction. Under the superb guidance of  architect, Jesse Beck, it will be completed next year.  Tonya West, also of FFF, showed me just how beautiful a construction site can be at night.  It almost looks like a finished building!!  But those windows are merely stretched with plastic sheeting.  

Historic House for Sale, Burlington

Historic House for Sale.  It awaits restoration.  Great for an Historic B & B. You could have an office in the back for Preservation Burlington, who can supervise the restoration.

John Connell's newest PreFab house.

Hard to believe that this house is not only Green, but it is also a Pre Fab house!  John Connell, architect, of 2Morrow Studio, and Gio, worked with me for three days to get just the right camera angles and styling to tell the story of what it really is like to live here. 

Sisler Builders' New Ad

Sharon and Steve Sisler of Sisler Builders, Stowe, Vt. just used a wonderful porch photo that I had the great pleasure to photograph for them.  And of course, George and Lady Dickens plopped themselves almost center front, so they would be included!!  Look for the ad in Vermont publications. 

Chili Cookoff Just the best

Avenue Bistro really put together just the best afternoon the mayoral candidates have had together. Laughing, testing 16 different chilis, huge crowd.  They voted hands down that they would much rather do this again than have a debate.  Here are a couple of photos from this event. Andy Montroll and family are with Lea Terhune and Chuck Seleen. And thank you Susan Luce, owner, for having this event. Complete with beer tasting and music.
