yesterday

Early on in our relationship, we dreamed of living a peaceful life in the Green Mountain State.

We squirreled away birthday checks and we picked change up off grubby pavement, we redeemed empty cans and bottles and dropped the coins in a jar labeled “The Vermont Land Fund”. We made intentional choices as we navigated raising a busy family, keeping our dream as the touchstone. We spent many vacations wandering the back roads of Vermont, and we looked at gazillion real estate listings.

On June 27, 2007 we found our Secret Garden inspired “bit of earth” and fell in love. We pulled into the driveway and we knew right way that we had finally found our spot. Later that evening we celebrated Peter’s birthday. Synchronicity.

We moved to Vermont full-time in 2014, and there isn't a day that goes by when I don't feel a flood of gratitude for this enchanted life.

Happy "bit of earth" day!

Happy birthday, Batman!
