Fall Foliage Has Begun in Vermont
Ahh, the fall foliage has begun. Since tourism is Vermont’s number one industry, the changing of the leaves is darned good for the state coffers! As I filmed structures on the National Register of Historic Places, I also captured much shorter videos of Nature doing her thing. In fact, the location of this video willContinue reading “Fall Foliage Has Begun in Vermont”
Premiere Video Time Change
Ok, so, people who know me know I am NOT a morning person. In order to have a video premiere at 5 am, I set my alarm for 4:30 am in order to post to social media and be awake for when the video starts. I have my videos go live at 5 am becauseContinue reading “Premiere Video Time Change”
General George Stannard Birthplace Monument
This was the first time I had ever seen a birthplace monument. What’s interesting about it is that General George Jerrison Stannard’s actual house was just south of this location on Route 7 in Georgia, Vermont. Want to know what happened to his house? Surprisingly, it did not burn down nor was it demolished. ItContinue reading “General George Stannard Birthplace Monument”

Gilman Road/Gilman-Gaffney Cemetery
The featured image is of a completely snapped at the joints grave monument. Rather than offer the standard cemetery “pose”, if you will, I thought I’d give you a photo of a totally broken grave monument Google does not recognize this cemetery. That’s a pity. I hadn’t tried to use Google Maps because a friendContinue reading “Gilman Road/Gilman-Gaffney Cemetery”
Calkins or McDonough Cemetery
Calkins Cemetery, aka McDonough Cemetery, holds 103 graves. It was first used in 1808. The cemetery is directly on Route 116 and is not labeled. The fence is a combination of wood and barbed wire. You must use the alternative cemetery’s name, if you plan to use Google Maps. Plus, ignore the Tyler Bridge RoadContinue reading “Calkins or McDonough Cemetery”
Greens Corners Cemetery
The first burial was in 1810 and the cemetery contains over 350 graves. The cemetery sits beside a “rail trail”. There used to be train track there, which the Central Vermont Railroad used. In fact, Greens Corners even had a station. Interesting information to note: I found this cemetery by driving by it. There isContinue reading “Greens Corners Cemetery”
2 Mourning Doves on My Patio!
https://youtube.com/shorts/T-68dfI9TJc?feature=share As I sat on my patio, a mourning dove flew in near me. I was surprised because they usually fly onto the sidewalk in front and then start eating from the gravel, where I sometimes sweep the nyger birdseed. They’ll eventually wander onto the patio to eat the freshest stuff! Before I even realizedContinue reading “2 Mourning Doves on My Patio!”
