Almost Christmas

I cannot believe that it is only 9 shopping days until Christmas!  And that it is 50 degrees outside with no snow!

Nonetheless, inside the Inn, it is certainly almost Christmas, with sparkling lights and my huge nutcracker collection!  If you need an escape during this hectic season, think of us!  If you need a gift, we have gift certificates!

Vineyard Walks

Johnson Estate Wineries, just up the street are doing Sunday morning vineyard walks.  You get a chance to walk through the vineyards (where the grape are starting to ripen, you can tell from our vines) and get your questions answered by an expert!

Harvesting will start in just a few weeks and the smells will be wonderful!  The North East WineFest is the fourth week in September...and, unfortunately we are full for Friday and Saturday nights.  BUT, you might want to consider stopping in on Sunday...there are still all kinds of bands, grape stomping, tasting and activities up until late afternoon.  A perfect way to spend a fall afternoon!

Visit to Daylily Farm

As I look at my garden today, it is the gorgeous daylilies that are providing the most color during the heat of this past week.  If gardening is your passion, or even just an interest, when you are visiting, consider a trip to the Nass Daylily Farm in nearby Westfield NY (www.nassdaylilyfarm.com).  They have 350 different varieties of lilies, and many acres to stroll around.

Owners will not ship the bulbs to you, but dig them up for you during your visit...what a wonderful way to remember your vacation, with some beautiful flowers in your own garden year after year!

Cherry Fest Time!

Yum!  Cherry Festival this weekend, and, just in time, cherries AND raspberries are ripe for the picking (and eating and buying).  You can be sure that cherries will be on the menu all weekend during the festival...and the weather looks like it is going to cooperate for the parade on Saturday.   We are booked this weekend, but all week long there are free concerts and things going on!
