Living in Vermont

I'm often asked why I chose to live in Vermont, like I do now. And I know it sounds like such an extreme place, that the, uh, it's so cold and dark in the winter, and it's just....Why Vermont of all places? But the funny thing is, my husband, Joe and I, we came here on vacation a few summers ago and just really fell in love with it. It's a beautiful state with fantastic green mountains, and it's just a beautiful place.
