Watkins Glen State Park |
We took a trip to one of the Finger Lakes, Seneca Lake, and followed the Seneca Lake Wine Trail. New York and part of Pennsylvania are home to a booming wine producing region. The wineries are small, numerous, and growing in popularity and recognition. We stopped at four of the thirty + wineries around this one lake.
Friday Morning Farmer's Market Haul |
Lilies at a Pizza Place |
At the end of our drive we hiked the gorge in the Watkins Glen State Park and the husband coined it "gorgeous". He doesn't pun often so I try to indulge him. It was an awesome short hike complete with spray rainbows and Minnehaha's heart-shaped pool. Well worth the several hundred stair-step climb.
The vegetables are from one booth at the Farmer's Market here. The booth-holder informed me that all the shares from her CSA, $500 for a full share per summer, (see previous blog post) are sold out this year although they still have pork and poultry for sale.
The lilies were at a local pizza joint where Grandk#1 and I shared their two-slice and drink $3.49 lunch special. Pretty much all local joys. It was a great weekend.
This post has almost every element of the perfect weekend...exploring nature, visiting a new place, trying new food, making memories with lovely people, and a moment of quiet reflection to write it all down so it can be enjoyed again and again. Glad you had a good one and thanks for sharing it.
