Yeah! I finally got a new laptop. I bought an new Dell XSP with a new wireless printer. But the best ever is I took advantage of a special purchase of a Dell Mini 9. How cool is that! This XPS is the perfect size for me. Lightweight with lots of memory. I love it! Now I will have no excuse for not writing. I don't have to share the computer with RJ because I know have mine own. RJ has been painting outside. The main portion of the Inn is solid stone with walls that are 2 1/2 feet thick. The second floor is stucco and the additions in the rear overlooking the pond is clapboard. The clapboard is now a gorgeous shade of medium sage with white trim. The stucco will be a medium gray and the doors a rich burgundy. He just finished planting our fall mums in a variety of colors. Sadly, the cosmos are at the end of their season and it's time to cut them down and prepare the ground for the winter season. Tomorrow is already the first day of fall. I'm always surprised that the summer ends so quickly. Our upcoming fall season looks busy with guests visiting family, planning getaways, vacationing i the Rochester and Finger Lakes, or visiting the Genesee Country Village and Museum. There is so much to do in the area we surprise ourselves sometimes by taking advantage of some of the activities when we can get away. I took a ride to the Abbey of the Genesee in Piffard to visit the chapel and pick up my Monk's bread. This is where the Trappists Monk's bake their breads and make their jams and jellies. They bake fruit cakes, brownies, and decadent chocolate delights. The chapel is a very peaceful place and offers a time for reflection and prayer. I try to get down there as much as possible. It's a short drive, only 15 minutes, and wll worth it. Many of my guests who visit Geneseo or Letchworth State Park will make the side trip and when they return they are always pleased to have taken the time. Living out in the country so close to nature, you can feel the wonder and awe all around. This morning during breakfast, my guests were enjoying good food, good conversation, and good companionship, when one of them looked out to see our ducks on the pond. Their tail feathers were up in the air as they groped under the surface for food. In the evening, the native brown trout and native brook trout can be seen swimming through the crystal clear water and poking through the water to nip at insects flying too close to the surface.t It's time to start getting our wood cut and split for the heating season. RJ already cut up one tree and I started to gather kindling. This is will a job we will do over the next month. It'll take RJ a good couple of weekends to cut up what we already have down. Till later... |
