When life gets tiring and the chores and obligations of daily living begin to weigh a person down, a quick remedy is to plan a weekend away.
With a little bit of researching , a sense of adventure, and careful stretching of dollars, two or three days away make a world of difference in attitude, outlook, and spirit!
This summer, my husband and I took a weekend excursion and stayed at the Applewood Manor Bed and Breakfast in Castleton, Vermont . This is a fairly rural area near Rutland in central Vermont.
Our daughter, an Internet whiz, found the Applewood for us while searching online. It turned out to be a top notch find.
Nancy Cameron and Ralph Hirschfeld are the innkeepers. Nancy warmly welcomed us the minute our car pulled into the driveway.
Accommodations in Hannah’s Room were extremely comfortable. The king size canopied bed with soft, luxurious sheets and pillows promoted deep and undisturbed peace.

Below is a light in the ceiling of the second floor hall landing:
The house, itself, the middle part of which was built in the late 1700s, had beautiful and tasteful decor and was spotless.
Fresh fruit cup, blueberry pancakes with real maple syrup, eggs Benedict, sausage links, fresh scones and pastries, orange and grapefruit juice, and rich, luscious coffee were some of the offerings available for breakfast.

That looks like a wonderful Bed and Breakfast. Such a pretty room!
Oh, Susan, what a stunning place to get away to. I'll bet you and hubby will be visiting there again. I've never been to New England. It's way high up on my list, for sure! Strawberries on your blueberry pancakes - yummy, yummy!
What a nice Bed and Breakfast. I have never slept under a canopy bed. That seems like it would be fun.
A pool, beautiful surroundings, and breakfast made for you - I'll eat what you did.

That Bed and Breakfast looks amazing!!
What a fabulous place. Thank you for stopping by my blog Susan.
A little bit of heaven...
This is exactly how I picture NE in my mind!! such a wonderful finding Susan. The white house the green, lucious garden, and the clear pool are certainly inviting!, not to mention the cozy home atmosphere and the yummy pancakes! :-)
Indeed, some time away is what one needs to clear the mind, and gather energy to keep on going.
My favorite breakfast? Orange juice and beans! black beans are so popular here (practically a food group!), that are eaten during breakfast and dinner.
have a great day!
I think it is great to go away and get a change of scene once in a while...I'm really not a breakfast eater at all...just a bowl of oatmeal for me but everthing looked sumptuious at this little B&B...I especially love the pool...great find!
