This Morning Glory got my attention Because of the hot weather, I am behind on weeding the back garden.  I was just wondering what had happened to the  Morning Glory when I stumbled upon this striking color among some weeds.This beautiful bloom certainly brightened my day and I have to admit, the weeds did make a nice frame.

Evening sky at sunset Watching the evening sky can be fun,  It is amazing how quickly thing can change, one minute the sky can be full of vibrant colors, sometimes it even appears to be on fire, and then the gray clouds roll in.In this scene, the sky is framed by tall leafless trees but in a few weeks, this will all change as the trees will once again be covered in green leaves.

In another couple weeks, I will be enjoying the Fall colors.  In the meanwhile, I opened up my Fall album and decided to share this photo of an antique house on a country lane and surrounded by colorful foliage. The cleanup after the leave has fallen however is no fun but seeing the vibrant foliage will be well worth it.

Hosta flowers after the rainHot and dry is how I would describe this summer in my area.  The rain on Tuesday was a welcome sight to me as well as the plants.  Maybe I can even salvage my lawn although I  am not so sure.When the rain stopped I took my camera out hoping to find something I wanted to photograph and that was when I saw this Hosta flowers covered in raindrops

Red Hook PeoniesSo delicate and beautiful are the peonies I am seeing around Red Hook.  These flowers don't last long so you have to take time to appreciate them.There is a wide variety of colors, here are two from my garden.   If you are relocating to Red Hook this is one flower that does well in the area.

Red Hook NY Holy Cow Ice CreamA landmark is what I would consider Holy Cow Ice Cream in Red Hook NY. Wherever I go, to another county or even out of state, when the conversation gets around to Red Hook, if the person I am having a conversation has ever visited Red Hook NY the first place that comes to mind is Holy Cow Ice Cream. Looking at the building it does not look like anything special but people just love the ice cream and the fact that it priced reasonably.Sometimes, when I go by, the line is out the door, and people get their ice cream, sit outside on the benches or in their cars.This small town ice cream shop was named as one of the top ten ice cream shops for 2013 in the USA It is amazing how many ice cream lovers take the time to give Holy Cow Ice Cream review  Holy Cow Ice C...

Fall Leaves The leaves are falling without changing colors, so I am wondering if the vibrant fall colors will ever appear.Cleaning up leaves is quite a chore, however, if the Fall season is spectacular it is so much easier to undertake such a chore. It is early yet, maybe the eighty and ninety-degree weather will disappear and the cool weather could probably turn things around. In the meanwhile here are a few photos from the previous Fall season.   The seasons are so beautiful here.  If you are thinking of purchasing home, in the beautiful Mid Hudson Valley call or text 845-594.9947 for assistance with your real estate needs.
