Nor'easter is a chilling experience here in Vermont
Christmas goodies 2010
My little sister makes some of the best cookies and candies around. These are some samplings from Christmas 2010. Yummy! Sometimes the simplest things make the best subjects for a photograph.

Our local volunteer fire department is a hub of activity
Ever wonder what goes on at your local volunteer fire department? Our Wallingford Volunteer Fire Department (WVFD) is a hub of activity year round. Training is done in all sorts of weather and conditions. It is not an easy job and, if you can, volunteer some time or donate money to help your fire department provide fire coverage to the citizens in your town. Our volunteer fire department is also one of my favorite subjects to photograph. I admire the strength, courage and stamina of these firefighters, young and old, and I'm fascinated with the long tradition of dedication and selflessness these men and women show for their calling.
No time is wasted and training with the new firetruck begins.

Grandma's old house and former Mt. Holly post office
The former Mt. Holly, VT post office and grandma's old house |
This old house was my grandma's home for awhile and was the Mt. Holly, Vermont, post office for many years before that. It no longer exists even in its dilapidated condition. It was torn down several years ago. I remember having Sunday dinners there with her after church. The church was just around the corner and it, too, no longer exists because it burned down a few years ago. I managed to take these photos of the old house just before it was demolished.

Heirloom roses from the old farm
When the old homestead was torn down two years ago my mom, sister and I were there to see the demolition. At the end of the foundation my mom's old rose bush still stood. It was dug up, brought home and replanted at the corner of my house and has bloomed each year since. This digital photo was taken in the summer of 2010.
