It's often said that Vermont has five seasons - Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, and Mud - but many add a sixth "Stick Season", which is what we're experiencing now. It's the time of year for fading foliage and dramatic skies, after the leaf-peeper tourists have left, but before the skiers arrive.
Some consider it to be the ugliest time of year around here, but I disagree. (My vote for that, hands down, is Mud Season, the time in late March/early April when any leftover snow has reached glacial density and turned into a charcoal gray).
Nothing earth-shattering to write about this month, so how about some pictures of our Stick Season?
Sunrises.....
....Sunsets...
....and in between:
It'll be snow pictures before we know it!
