Red Hook, NY

This evening while running an errand I came across a beautiful scene. It was just about the time when the sun was setting; I was just going by an open field in Red Hook when I noticed the the colors in the sky and that big ball of fire. At that point I just had to pull over and get my camera out; and I was glad I did because this was truly a magnificent scene.

Budds Corner is located between Route 9 and Route 9G in the town of Red Hook.  So named after the Budds family and there are still members of this family residing on this street.

On Budds Corner can be found a couple large farms.  I was once told that the corn crop need to be knee high by the the begining of July so when I go by in the summer I make a mental note.

This is also a great spot t to shoot some lovely sunsets.

One of my favorite spot on this road is going by a farm where a gnarly tree stands alone in the middle of the field.

Make a right off Budds Corner on to Pitcher Lane, Here you will find Grandiflora Nusery a popular place for plants a a favorite spots for many with second homes in the area. Next stop is the Greg Farm, a place where you can pick your own fruits; my favorite is Blueberries.

In a Barn on the Greig's Farm you will find Gigi Market,  here I find the only brownies I really love; everyone I have given them  to agrees.

Next door to Gigi's you will find Alison's Winery.

Enjoy this brief tour of the fall colors from Budds Corner to Pitcher lane.

River Road is a very scenic route stretching from Rhinebeck to Red Hook.  You really don't have to guess as to which river it is near, the Hudson River of course.

On River Road you will find beautiful homes, estates, farms, open fields and fantastic views of the Catskill Mountain and Hudson River in some spots.

River Road is a route you will take if you get off the Kingston Rhinecliff Bridge and is heading to Bard College or to a performance at the Fisher Center.

On the way you will past  the well known Migliorelli farmstand, and Poet's Walk a park operated by Scenic Hudson.

River Road has many bends so you have to be careful not to get too carried away with the scenery.  You will get to a crossroad where Barrytown Road crosses River Road which then becomes Annandale Road.  Bard College is located in Annandale so my next Blog post will take you from this crossing right to Bard College.

I don't know if this is humorous Monday. However, I had such a crazy start to my day that I just had to share this, now that I can laugh about it.

My husband is fortunate to be one of those people who has a vacation day today. I thought it would be nice to make him breakfast before heading off to pick up some signs and remove a lockbox for the property I am closing on tomorrow.

Okay, so here is where it gets funny; I cooked bacon, toasted an english muffin and was in the process of making some scrambled eggs when I decided it would be a good time to also make him a cup of espresso. So here I was thinking about the eggs on the stove while making the espresso. Then, I started pouring the espresso into what I thought was the cup, but, instead I poured it over the english muffin and bacon. So what can a girl do? I couldn't salvage this, so, I had to start all over.

Yes, sometimes you are better off not multitasking.
