What is Vermont Acres

The twenty-lot subdivision where Theresa and Dan Collins live next to Howard and Alice Goodwin's dairy farm, Vermont Acres sports a decorative New England-style covered bridge at the entrance and all or the streets are named for New England states. Unlike the farm, the houses have all of the modern amenities, including air conditioning, which is a necessity in a brutally hot summer. Howard accepts Theresa's invitation to lunch and relax in the middle of the day.
