By the time we left Woodstock {VT}

It was as lovely as he said!

~

 Our son-in-law, Juan, told us that Woodstock, VT is a beautiful city to visit.
He said that we could plan our trip back from  King Arthur Flour Bake Shop
so that we pass through Woodstock.

Awesome suggestion, Juan!

This is how the Woodstock community decorates for summer!

~ It's historical ~

Flowers adorn every street.

The store fronts are so nicely done.

We found loveliness around every corner.

Shortly after we left, we passed some popular Vermont ski slopes.

{Killington and Pico}

The mountain views were beautiful.

But, the skies looked a bit different as we drove south.

... very different ...

"What are those?"



{EcoRover stopped over to tell me that these are called Mammatus clouds!}

As we approached Glens Falls, NY  the sun was setting, and the rain was about to begin.

Oh look!

When the sun set, the darkness gathered, as did more storm clouds.

... passing under the twin bridges of Clifton Park...

"I wonder what the weather looks like over our house?"

{heading towards the end of the "Northway"

Hmmmm

thunder ~ lightning ~ power's out

It was non-stop lightning all night.

Luckily the power went out only twice for brief periods.

*Love an excuse for lighting candles*

...Thankfully, we had power in the morning so that we could bake our King Arthur Flour scones!
