Signs of Vermont



Although we've been home now for over a week and life is flying by at its furious pace again, I still have some things I want to share. While we were there I saw many signs that I'm pretty sure I'd never seen in Washington. Sorry for the lopsidedness of the signs, I had to snap them real quickly from the car.







I never did find my favorite sign when I was able to snap a picture. We saw it in a rather snobby neighborhood in Manchester, NH. It read: DOG FOULING NOT PERMITTED IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. It then outlined the steps to be taken if this heinous crime occured.

Have a great day.

Naked Warrior, et al

When we first moved to South Barre, my sister asked if it is a "quaint New England town like you read about in all the murder mysteries". I assured her that it wasn't. Quaint, yes, but Barre is a town with some problems. Barre is an old town and full of interesting buildings and "characters". I would have loved to take pictures of some of those characters like the grizzled paper boy who carried a bag of newspapers on both shoulders. The warrior always interested me because of the various patterns the rain and snow made on him. In a snowstorm he always wore a little tophat. Please excuse the church pictures. The originals looked okay but I couldn't make them all fit. There are many churches in Barre.
