October 3, 2009








From the Apple Island Resort South Hero, Vermont.
Another cloudy day. No rain in the morning. We had seen a Farmer’s Market advertised and decided to go. We went north on US-2. But, not far enough. We never saw the Farmer’s Market. We did drive around the island and saw some interesting homes. Gerri located a brochure on Vermont cheese producers. One open to the public was in Milton, close to the RV Park. The Willow Hill Farm produces goat, sheep and water buffalo cheeses. The farm was located at the end of a four mile dead end road. The sign on the door said open but no one was around. We could see the processing area which was all cleaned and idle. Upon reading the signs posted we realized there was an honor system in place. The various cheeses were in a refrigerator and the prices marked. We selected a sampling of the varieties and hope we added correctly and left the right amount of money.
Back at the RV Park later it rained quite heavily for awhile. To the west it looked like there might be a great sunset. I gathered up my camera and headed out. I thought the turnout on the causeway south of us would be a great place for a picture looking west to New York. Just outside the motorhome I noticed a full arc rainbow with another partial arc just above it. I then drove to the causeway. Wrong on the direction, the sun was setting rather unspectacularly behind some clouds and New York wasn’t even in sight.
