A Visit to Mohonk Mountain House

December 24, 2014 By Helen

We are visiting the Mohonk Mountain House for Christmas this year. Not a white Christmas by a long shot – unless you think of all that lack of visibility as white. It’s nearly 50 and rainy. Nevertheless, we had a lovely walk along the trails.

A Visit to Frog Pond

September 30, 2014 By Helen

This past week has been gorgeous, perfect early fall weather. The leaves have begun to turn, and even appear to be peak on some hillsides. Or maybe just our yard.

Let it snow

10" of snow in Franklin NY on December 15, 2013

It is definitely winter here in Franklin NY. We got 10″ of snow on Saturday and Sunday. Fortunately, it didn’t come down too heavily until after the Holiday Market and Christmas Stroll in the Village. The cats were really annoyed until we shoveled paths so they could get out and sniff what’s going on around […]
