It's very grey, rainy, and blah outside today, and I'd much rather be out with my camera, taking pictures of pretty things. I keep thinking that some of the roses down at Stanley Park must be in bloom by now, and how pretty they'd be with raindrops on them. If the sun were shining, that is.
I went to Trader Joe's this morning, and got some fun stuff including dark chocolate covered figs, called Figments. I love that place! The traffic on route 9 was awful though, because they're widening the street and part of it is gravel. I went to TJ's website and suggested that they open a store in Enfield, which would be closer and they could sell wine & beer. The one in Hadley doesn't, because of this Puritan state and its antiquated alcohol laws. We may be the bluest blue state, but in some things we are totally backwards.
OMG, these Figments are delish! Mustn't eat too many, though, or I will be very sorry later.
So anyway, here are some non-parade pix from Brattleboro yesterday, when the sun was shining:
( more behind the cut )Brattleboro is a lovely town, with lots of big old houses and neat little shops & restaurants. I'll have to go back someday and do some more exploring!
Jeez louise, it's getting even darker out. :P
