Leaves are Falling...

With last night's snowfall, we were delighted to capture this blanket of leaves outside Vergennes Opera House | City Hall beforehand. Will the snow stay? Will it leave? Time will tell!

Sending gratitude & best wishes

to you and yours. Happy Thanksgiving!


Here's a conversation starter for you......

“The turkey. The sweet potatoes. The stuffing. The pumpkin pie. Is there anything else we all can agree so vehemently about? I don’t think so.”

Nora Ephron
