Everyone is so nice at Vermont College. When I had my first breakdown, my new poet friend gave me a card about courage. I have to remind myself: It takes courage to put yourself out there. Another poet friend gave me flowers from her garden; I came back to my dorm room to find them, fresh, in a vase, by my door.

The scarf is a solid brown bandanna from Hobby Lobby.

Later in the day I bought maple syrup and visited with the llamas. Maple syrup - expensive. Llamas - very cute. I also sampled my first creamee, a soft serve cone of maple ice cream. Ok, well, I say sample but what I really mean is I ate a medium cone. Delish.

This morning the sun was actually out. We've heard about sun in Vermont, but we hadn't seen it yet. I took advantage and went on a short walk this morning. I selected the blue house for my background today because it matches my eyes. And I like blue. And I like the idea of blue houses.

Oh yeah, the scarf. It's another black one, made by Mom. And no, I am not cheating. I own several black scarves. I will photograph them all together later and post just so you'll see I'm telling the truth.

This scarf was made by Mom. It really does match my shirt, but you can't tell, b/c the green part of the shirt is at the bottom. So you're just going to have to trust me on this. It is not very Fourth of July-ish. But then, the day didn't feel very Fourth of July-ish. I went to 3 lectures and a reading. I had a meeting with a graduate assistant about my work. It was a busy school day, not a day off, not a break, not a holiday. (Though, we did have a cookout.)

P.S. The building in the background is my dorm. Cute, huh?

This scarf was made by Mom. You can't tell but it's black with streaks of gray, burgundy, and purple. And it matches my necklace, which is important.

I am standing in front of Noble Hall, where I've attended 8 lectures, 31 student readings, and a handful of faculty readings in less than a week. This is the spot from which I watched the Montpelier Fourth of July fireworks display. So yes, I've already watched my holiday fireworks. Not much when compared to Thunder Over Louisville, the largest annual fireworks show in the country, but still, beautiful.

Have noticeable bald spots on your head or noticeable acne on your face?

This is one of my oldest and worn-out scarves, a Hobby Lobby bandanna scarf.

Happy Anniversary Melanie and Glenn!

Too busy.

Too tired.

Too rainy.

Too hard.

This has been my life the past couple of days, here in Vermont as I begin my writing program. I've even thought about moving to a scarf of the week while I'm here, but I worked too hard to pack only outfits that matched scarves I haven't worn yet since starting the blog, and wouldn't want to waste all that effort. So I'm back...catching up on my posts and sharing more scarves.

This scarf was a Goodwill find (thanks Mom). Note: Montpelier is such a cute town; see the houses in the background? I think I could be happy here.
