Scenes from New York
I spent the first part of my vacation last week at my daughter and son-in-law’s house in Columbia County, NY. It is very rural and, although it rained quite a bit, the scenery was lovely and the temperature did not get much higher than in the low 80’s.
These pictures show the entry to their house, their beloved “ladies” enjoying a drink and the little bird house that has ended up on the ground and now has been taken over by friendly field mice. mice.

The final picture is one that I took in Stanfordville, NY, which is in the adjoining county of Dutchess and is where they have their antique business. It is also where we all lived as a family back in the 60’s.
