Four & twenty blackbirds at Masala Farm

This post is devoted to the summer avian life present in Washington County and specifically at American Masala farm.  My husband Peter & I enjoy birding so decided start a list of all the birds we saw and heard during our visit. 

                        This is the stately prince of Masala Farm.  I cannot remember his name but I think it is an                       indian name that means Prince...Now I can only wonder who really wears the pants at

Masala Farm!  

This bird gets my vote!

Seeing him strut his stuff around the farm...like he owns the place.

and he does.

Where has the summer gone?

I was looking at images I had saved for blog posts and found this one from the height of summer. A folder that got lost in the madness of the joys of summer. What is startling today is the difference in the light. How different everything looks as seasons change. How different we feel. How things taste different, not always because of ingredients, but also because of perception colored by our mood, altered by the seasons.

Thursday was our last full day with Charlie and Suvir, and we spent it in Vermont. How did the week go by so fast?

Lake George by Jack Tiggleman

After our delicious meal at the Chocolate Mill, (click here if you missed that post, you should go see it even if you've already read it, as I've updated it a little bit), it was time for the main event of the day: Lake George.  

Grilled vegetables in a jiffy

Those that know me well know I am a vegetarian who is rather fussy about what vegetables he eats. I LOVE all vegetables. But I am not one to eat all vegetables cooked by everyone. Certain veggies need a very special hand in my mind to be fit for me to enjoy. Zucchini and Squash are two such vegetables. This week has been a lucky one for me as far as these vegetables go.
