Leslie and Ruth’s home, our base for the next couple of weeks.
The weather has been somewhat average since we arrived – exceedingly dull and grey with occasional drizzle. Yesterday Chantal and I took a stroll down to Gloversville, taking Kiki the dog with us. I forgot that her legs were just a little shorter than those of our dogs, and she had to be carried part way home. Don’t tell Lesia and Tia – I don’t want them getting ideas.
The plan today was to head into the Adirondack Mountains to see the full spectacle of tree colours. I hoped to walk up to the highest summit (just a 2 mile track – Americans don’t exert themselves if they can help it) , but grey low cloud and drizzle meant that we just headed to Lake George, the nearest town in the Adirondacks, and we had quite a pleasant day.
The weather is at least warm. Tomorrow we have to be up at 3.00am to fly to South Dakota where snow is forecast.
Technically we live in Oaktree House, but sadly the tree had to go.
We now have a thriving Oakstump at the front of the house.
