I keep trying to capture the beauty of these leaves, but I just can't do them justice. You have to see it yourself.
Today was awesome. Several people had told me about the Shelburne Museum. It is incredible. We stayed there the whole day - and we still didn't see everything. Electra Havemeyer Webb founded this museum. Her grandmother was a Vanderbilt. And both, Havemeyer and Webb, were families of wealth so this gave Electra the opportunity to pursue her hobby of collection. She was an avid collector of folk art - and just about everything. Most of the buildings in this huge, beautifully landscaped museum, she purchased and moved to the site. Then she completely set them up with articles of the building's era. For instance she had an inn, "the Dutton House", from the 1820s completely furnished in period furniture. There was a paddlewheel boat, a train station, an amazing circus building, 1787 sawmill - complete with equipment - it just goes on and on. We weren't even able to see it all in an entire day. I recommend it to anyone. There is something there for everyone to enjoy.
