Fall in Sugar Loaf, NY

We’ve had a beautiful resplendent fall Here in Sugar Loaf, NY! Many of the leaves have dropped, but some are still up and colorful, and a few are still green.

Here are a few photos I took at the edge of town last week…

Sugar Loaf, NY. View down the tracks — Looking north from Sugar Loaf along the railroad tracks.

Bostree Studio, Sugar Loaf, NY — Looking back in the opposite direction at the Bostree Studio from the railroad tracks.

Sugar Loaf, NY — The view of the field I was meandering through.

Looking east. Sugar Loaf, NY — Looking east (yes, east) as the sun set. It was time to go home.

With all the rain we’ve been having, I’m not sure how long the splendor will last, so visit us soon to catch the last hurrah of fall and start some early holiday shopping!

… And as a P.S., some news from our small hamlet… In its 45th year, the Sugar Loaf Annual Fall Festival, with 80 vendors exhibiting in addition to our resident shops, eateries, and theater, attracted 15,000 visitors! Read the story here.

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!

Andy Boswell’s mugs are not only good for a hot cup of tea, coffee or cocoa…. they’re pretty great for a cold ale to toast a Happy Saint Patrick’s Day as well!

… or how about a green smoothie in one of Andy’s mugs?I made this extra green smoothie as follows…

Throw all of the following into a blender, just make sure everything is cut into blender friendly sized pieces, and blend until smooth.

1 cucumber (about 1 – 1 1/2 cups)
3 kale leaves (about 1/2 cup)
1 apple
1 – 2 tsp. raw honey
1 tbl. chlorophyll (optional for extra nutrition and extra green!)
a handful of ice

Count your blessings, not your woes. ~ Irish Proverb

Have a Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!
