Autumn is Bed & Breakfast Season

Ho! for the leaves that eddy down,
Crumpled yellow and withered brown,
Hither and yonder and up the street
And trampled under the passing feet;
Swirling, billowing, drifting by,
With a whisper soft and a rustling sigh,
Starting aloft to windy ways,
Telling the coming of bonfire days.

While in Vermont in the Autumn time...we always go to my favorite town of Woodstock. You'll remember Woodstock as it was mentioned in an earlier post this month about my favorite photo I've ever taken. It was taken there. I have many images from Woodstock, but today I wanted to show you the most quaint and lovely Bed & Breakfast there, called the Ardmore Inn B&B.
When the hubby and I were young and sans children, we always stayed at the most quaint B&B's when we traveled. That made the trips all the more enjoyable and entertaining. But once the chitlins arrived on the scene....well many B&B's just aren't too keen on children, so we don't get to stay in them as often as we'd like anymore.
Last year when we were there in town, the Inn was all decked out for Autumn with cornstalks, hay, mums and pumpkins. The colored leaves were laying all over the yard and the entryway was just so inviting, don't you think? It looked so lovely, and I wanted to check in there and stay for the rest of the month. This is how I'd decorate my home if I lived where the beautiful colored leaves would line my walkways like confetti. {sigh}
Of course Ardmore is just one of many lovely places to dwell in Woodstock, Vermont. And I had another lucky shot in this town last year too, while standing outside shooting images of the B&B's. I saw this great old Classic Pick Up coming in my direction. I've always wanted one of these trucks as it would be the ultimate photo prop....although I would like mine to be Red or Yellow....but the Orange was fab too, and just perfect for an Autumn shot outside the Charleston House B & B.
Maybe you will be lucky enough to visit a B&B this autumn and enjoy the bounty of the season on display in such a homey and inviting way!
