David and I are just back from a whirlwind trip to Burlington, Vermont, where the New England Library Association was meeting. We had a lively and enjoyable dinner with our New England sales team, led by Paul Davis. More about them to come, but I wanted to post these photos from the drive home, to give distant readers a sense of the exuberant decorations one sees from time to time in otherwise sedate New England.
The first photo (doubleclick to enlarge) is of Halloween decorations, our version of demon gods. The second is a mobile home (trailer; caravan) painted to look like the black and white Vermont cows made famous by Ben & Jerry’s.
