scenic route 206

getting wood

Since we’re burning wood for heat (up the mountain, the filter house has no heat), we’ve been driving the truck in the snow and chucking as much wood as we could.

a very very very fine house

we’re thankful for

quiet mornings

jewel-like juices

mountain views

each other

and, of course, pumpkin pie

fall 09 in the woods

Since it’s more hospitable than the filter house at this point, and it’s available, we’re borrowing a house in the woods from my mom and her partner. Autumn is a misty, spooky, but pretty time up here.

a wholesome landscape?

Snake Hill Sunset

It’s all about sunsets, so here’s snapshots from a recent ride on Snake Hill Road, which I guess is in Walton. It’s hard to tell what town you’re in on these back roads.

Labor Day in Andes

Andes is probably the poshest town in Delaware County. The enjoyable Andes Hotel’s where we recently shared the front porch with a biker gang for some rocking chairs and margaritas.

USA!

USA!

East Brook

The Filter House is across the street from the East Brook. A bit shallow for swimming, it’s incredible for wading, sitting and laying down, and picture-taking on a hot day. This weekend, we alternated gardening in the sun with dips in the East Brook.
