SNOW!

For reals. It snowed on us as we drove from Woodstock to Lake Placid (backtracking through New Hampshire to see the Shaker Village). A few tense moments as we are not used to travelling in snow and our little bright blue Toyota Corolla rental has no special equipment for same. The trip was beautiful nonetheless. Still amazing leaf vistas as we crossed Vermont on highway 4 (staying off the big interstates has served us well).

We are at the Lake Placid Lodge, right on the lake, with incredible views. The snow is melting, and it is still raining. A fabulous rainbow landed smack in the middle of the lake. This lodge is glorious. We have a cabin with a wood-burning fireplace, couch and comfy chairs, and views to die for. The building is old craftsman and every touch is perfect. Turned this into a zero mile day. Why leave?

Tomorrow we are off to Pittsfield, MA, and a production of The Crucible with Maggie Donnelly, daughter of L&W friends, Jean and Tim of same name.

Here's a picture of our new friend from the bar at Lake Placid.
