Pleasures abound in Vermont, and many are wonderfully described in the poetry by James Stack. From black bears and fall apples to maple sugar and even turkeys, delights abound within the surroundings of Vermont's borders. From first snowfall and a stunning sunrise to the return of hummingbirds and the exuberance of darkness, there are enchantments to be had by all. Even ice storms and thunderstorms have been shown to bring out pleasurable moments to share and cherish. Even from out of the wreckage of hurricane Irene Vermonters were capable of laughter as they worked together to rebuild in a manner of sharing true to Vermont. Many of these special treats the author found while in the company of his dogs, which brought to life unexpected happenings, especially from porcupines. And then there are the myriad seasons found in Vermont. The longest is winter, but there are some unexpected ones, such as Black Fly and T'aint Nothin'. Each season offers its own occurrences that add to the joy of experiencing Vermont, from praying for snow to watching it slowly drift away; to seeing jaundiced buds peak out in the spring to the luscious rainbow colors of Vermont's foliage - we are blessed. And those blessings are vividly described in the seasonal sections in the poem aptly named, "Seasons of Vermont." Living in Vermont has brought joy and peace, and sharing these with the reader is the author's fondest wish. Now take a causal walk down some of the paths and periods the author would like to share with you -pleasures await.
