Summer in Vermont... an author's life in the rural green mountains

Hello sweet friends, summer has finally arrived here in the Vermont mountains! I have been roaming the woods surrounding where I live, swimming in the cool lakes, visiting the farmers, planting my garden, working on new books, and making granola. Whew! It feels like there is sooo much going on, each day has been so full. I wanted to share some of what has been happening lately with you. I hope you enjoy coming along on this journey with me - and be sure to comment below and tell me what you've been up to in this beautiful, unfolding season 🌻🏔🌱

🏄 A BIT ABOUT ME ☕️
I don't call myself an author because I don’t believe in labels.
I believe that story is art - that it's sacred, and that it is and has always been a force that changes and shapes our world. That's why I write, and that's why I create videos (even co-produced an environmental film). I consider the world my home, and enjoy submerging in unique cultures nearly as much as I love submerging in the ocean and riding the waves. I am the author of the young adult urban fantasy series The Blood Race, and am currently working on several new series's. Though I can be hard to find, I am easy to reach (and very fun to talk to) at: kate@kaemmons.com

    I live below Yosemite at 3k elevation, and it gets hot in the Summer, so the best getaways are the cooler climes above Yosemite at around 9k.

    Yay! I am beyond thrilled your Vermont videos are back!!! And equally thrilled that you will be making much more of them! I watch and rewatch your videos. I live in Boston but Vermont is my favorite getaway place at all times of the year. Each season brings its own unique beauty as your videos highlight. Please keep making more of these. The mood they evoke nourishes my soul and all your amazing healthy living/eating tips inspire me to live and eat better also. I wish you much continued and ever growing success! Keep up the amazingness!

    Welcome home. We are exploring Vermont this summer and tomorrow we are hoping to see there turtles coming out to lay their eggs around the area. But not too close! Discovering great musicians and farm stands. I am feeling that next year I would like to be more in the mountains than in lake country. Different vibe.

    Watching this refreshed my soul. 🌲🌱 Thank you for another content, Kate! This vlog made me realize how much I also yearn to connect with nature. And our natural surroundings. Literally... to just connect with life. All my life I grew up in Manila, a very busy city where everything seems... overwhelming and fast-paced. After watching this, I felt something inside me lacks. And that is because I never truly experienced going out to new places, planting trees, or to just breathe the warm air of nature. How I hope I get to travel soon and do these things, too. As a writer myself, like you, I know this will change my perspective so much. Thank you for being you and for taking time to film this for us. I wish you well. 🙏🤎🍃

    Thank you so much for your kind words, and for sharing your own unique journey with me!🌻💛 I find that one of my favorite ways to connect easily with nature, even when I am far from the forests of Vermont, is to grow things inside. It really brings such a beautiful, vitalizing energy into my home space, and helps me to feel connected with fresh, growing things even if I am unable to get out into nature. Thank you so much for sharing with me! I am glad my video could bring a touch of nature to your day 🌱

    This video was a breathe of fresh air for me. I grew up on the east coast with the lush greenery and recently moved to Arizona (the complete opposite). I'm slowly learning to embrace the nature here too, but nothing beats the mountain forests. Do you have any ideas for a nature place for peace in a desert?

    Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching, sweet soul! I LOVE the desert, it has such a unique beauty! My father and I hiked Grand Canyon a few years back, and it had been a long-time dream of ours. I would recommend perhaps finding some hikes, trails, or state/national parks nearby where you live, and just do some exploring.🌻💛

    This is sooooo beautiful!!! Thank you Kate! My fave place to go for the summer: to the Hills over the biggest lake in Hungary (called Balaton). My grandparents have a tiny cottage there near wine yards and a forest. When I was a kid I was non-stop there. Now that I am an adult, I can go there alone (coolest thing when you are used to being a kid and needing supervision). Now I can just go there and chill, and since a year I am bringing my husband there too. He loves it.
