The view from here




Here are some pictures that give a better view of where we live. The first was taken in December 2009. The rock portion is LR/DR, BR upstairs and the den is behind the garage.





















The second is a view of our back yard from the 'office' bedroom upstairs. The next two are the view out our living room windows. The day I took these two pictures, the sky was somewhat hazy, so the mountains in the background are somewhat obscured. Sadly, this is about the best it gets. Only after a rapidly moving 'storm' comes through does it really clear out so you can see the distant mountains.

The pictures below are from Lake Willoughby, a glacial lake we visited on a driving tour July 4.















There are two beaches at either end of this lake, and with temps near 90, both were quite crowded. This lake is some 6 miles long a mile wide. We also visited (no pics) a smaller one about 10 miles west of this one. Lakes like these dot the NE Kingdom. Many feature state parks for day use and camping.
