Vermont Seasons

by Suzy Nielsen on March 2, 2010

Well folks, it’s still winter here in Vermont. As much as many of us would like glorious Spring to come peaking round that corner. But all you skiers out there have another shot at some great snow. So don’t be shy, come on up and say hello.

Now for those of you who are still yearning for that bit of spring, never fear. Spring is popping up here at Rose Arbour. The end of February was about as long as I could reasonably leave that Christmas tree up, as beautiful as it was.

Time for fresh displays, with beautiful pastel colors. Time to take the wreaths off the windows, and let the strengthening sun come in. Time to enjoy the thoughts of rebirth and renewal!

Here is a peek at the shop, post Christmas.
