The machine on the left is an old fashioned hay mower, which was hitched behind a horse. There’s a separate blade next to it, and on this side of the tree, either some sort of wheel or a missing part of the Bat-Signal.

One of the beauties at Windsong Hill, a small horse farm overlooking the Mettawee Valley and the Three Sisters range.

This pooch waited patiently for the bulldozing work to be done; knowing perhaps a long walk along that muddy road to the woodlot, from where these logs came, might soon follow – and it did.

There’s always something magical about that first snowfall – especially on a mountain range across the valley.

I love how the craftsperson here went an extra mile – incorporating the vernacular of the area into this simple project. It reminds me of the works exhibited at the now defunct (and much lamented) Stratton Arts Festival that was held every fall at Stratton Mountain. Only VT artists and craftspeople could enter – and it was an incredible show, always. Some of my favorites over the years included a blazer made entirely of cedar shingles (it looked like you could wear it to a formal dinner) and an actual cord of wood with the top dusted in gold sparkled paint. I miss the VT ethos in those shows: a sublime blend of humor, intelligence and skill grounded in the natural world. This piece of art would have felt at home there.

I discovered this valley a couple of years ago, and purposely went back there this year – in part for this spectacular view.
