My state is prettier than your state

I borrowed that title from my good friend Sara, with her permission, because it represents my feelings about Vermont so well.  I seriously can't get enough of how perfectly beautiful Vermont is. And in the fall?! Oh. My. Word. It is unbelievable!!! To think I only have 1 more fall here in Vermont after this one breaks my heart.  I am madly in love with Vermont!
