the north shore of Lake Willoughby

This is the guest tent: it's in-progress; working on turning it into a Moonrise Kingdom fantasy

Campfire under the stars--it's cold at night; no drought here, the corn is juicy

writer's nook

The summer office

M is spending this summer holed up in the cabin, working on a new book "The Evangelical Public Sphere in 18th Century America" --you can read a bit of what that is here.

starter lake house

this place is amazing

love this 1950s atomic ranch with carport, right on the beach

this is the Lolly Willows lake frontage---it's almost too steep to walk down to it; we drive.

this is all you need: a hammock and a canoe

The local hardware store...

the library

the closest bar to Lolly Willows

I become a transparent eyeball

"There I feel that nothing can befall me in life, -- no disgrace, no calamity, (leaving me my eyes) which nature cannot repair. Standing on the bare ground, -- my head bathed by the blithe air, and uplifted into infinite spaces, -- all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eye-ball; I am nothing; I see all." --Emerson

please pardon our extreme adorableness

June in Vermont: natural sand beaches on glacial lakes
