Carding, Vermont is

…a good-sized town in the Green Mountain state with a busy Main Street that circles around a common that’s crisscrossed with walking paths and dotted with lots of trees. There’s a bandstand at one end that hosts concerts in summer and the locals build a skating rink for winter.

Carding is the creation of author Sonja Hakala who lives on a river in Vermont. You can read about Carding in her novels and the short stories that appear here every Monday.
