Thoughts and prayers for those who died 11 years ago today….God bless them and their families.
We woke up to 41 degrees and frost on the picnic table this morning….yikes – it’s time to head south! Mark fixed Maine blueberry pancakes with Vermont maple syrup – YUMMY!
We left Woodford around 9:30 – a spectacular day for driving thru spectacular scenery in western Vermont and then eastern New York – oh my!
Pretty farm in New York
The temp did warm up to 71. Beautiful landscape in these parts – upstate NY is so so awesome. Stopped at Bennington Pottery which has been around for a long time – really neat stuff! We had lunch at The Farmhouse at Emmons in Oneonta, NY – excellent food in a neat old farmhouse.
Good spot for lunch
Yesterday I talked about things I really like and appreciate in these small towns (food-wise), but so much more like the beautiful old churches, homes, inns and B and B’s some dating back to the 1600-1700’s. And then all that old, quaint architecture, the flowers blooming, the flags waving, etc. Of course, if a town is on the water, that's even more special (Mark will agree with his one)! There are many “Norman Rockwell” scenes here in the northeast.
We drove 220 miles thru very scenic country and arrived at the Lackawanna State Park, 10 miles north of Scranton, PA around 4:00. It was lovely and so peaceful as we walked 2.5 miles seeing signs that summer is winding down....the pool has been drained, no tents or campfires and few RV's. Weekends will be busy, but nothing like the good ole summertime. This fresh air, quietness and fall nip can't be beat - I love this time of year AND these wonderful state parks!
