What I have always loved about Vermont is the self-sufficiency of the people, great food, friendly small communities, our beautiful landscape and the deep, deep snow! There’s a peace and quiet you have where you can disappear in the woods for a while, and also to know that there are many likeminded people who love to explore and care genuinely. You can come back after years and people welcome you with open arms and some great food! It’s simple and friendly like that. There’s also a deep love for this wonderful country of ours. Lately, there has been a lot of confusion in the state. It would be good when she returns to her roots of self-reliance, high work ethic and common sense. Most Vermonters I know are reserved and more concerned with raising their families well than anything else.
