Rainy morning but it cleared up and turned into a pretty day. We headed to the Vermont Country Store and then Hogback mountain. The GPS took us thru the countryside. We got a little worried when the pavement ended. But we made it. You can see Massachusetts, New Hampshire and parts of Vermont from the overlook. The country store was like mini Vermont Country Store. Headed back to Manchester on a more direct route and stopped at the Ye ole Tavern for dinner

Rainy damp day hard to believe a week ago we were in a heat wave. It’s a chilly 52 degrees this evening. Thank goodness for the fireplace
Went to a musical play at the Dorset Playhouse. Something rotten. We really enjoyed it. Very talented group We always enjoy going to see their productions
After the play we went to Mac’s market to pick up a sandwich for supper.
We had a visitor tonight I took these thru the dining room window.

Quiet relaxing day after the long drive yesterday. Lots of people in downtown Manchester It was great to see lots of people of all ages at the bookstore. It’s my all time favorite bookstore. I picked up two books. I could have gotten lots more.
This is just outside the bookstore
Another chilly evening so enjoying another fire in fireplace.

Travel day. We stopped in Saratoga Springs so I could go to the yarn store. Lots of beautiful yarn but I only bought two pieces. We missed a turn leaving Saratoga and GPS took us a longer crazy way but we finally made it to Dorset.
After supper I walked outset to check out the pond that the owners son has been working on. Awesome job

What a difference a day makes. Temperatures only in the 50s today. We stopped at F Olivers to pick up some vinegars. The yarn store was closed so headed to the waterfront
Too chilly for a boat ride today
Some scenes from around the lake

Another warm day in the Finger Lakes. Not as warm as yesterday. Thank goodness. We headed to the mall in Victor so Michael could get some socks. Went to L L Bean and Michael found socks and shorts and shirts. Picked up some great salads for dinner and a delicious brownie. Now we are sitting on the porch reading and enjoying nature

Headed to the finger lakes for a few days. It took us a little over 6 hours. Checked into the Inn and then went to Canandaguia. Times it just right as the sun was setting
There are several rows of boathouses
