The Catskills





Lori and I have spent the last few days tooling around the Catskills in New York. We saw lots of waterfalls (unplanned), reservoirs, got lost, and had a awesome lunch in Roscoe NY in a place called Zach's (also unplanned, but worth the trip). Most of the time we were on roads that were not on our maps nor the GPS, yet we made it back to the hotel with out getting too lost, (many " Look kids Big Ben's/Parliament" from the movie European Vacation). One of the pictures we posted is of our future dream home we will never own, just amazing!

Spring

I am sure I wasn't the only one outside this weekend playing in the yard! We spent all day Sunday planting Gerbers and cleaning up outside. Today I took a short walk and snapped some pictures.
Left to right the 1st photo is of one of our Gerbers followed by a tadpole in my pond, followed by a stupid Canandian goose sitting on her nest right next to the play ground at Newton Lake! The 1st picture on the bottom row is of a Praying Mantis egg sack, in that little sack holds roughly 200 babies, which if I am lucky enough will be present when they hatch. The last picture is one I took a few weeks ago of an unfortunate squirrel being consumed by one the lakes red tailed hawks.

Cutest little ice cream



Walking through our local Super Fresh I couldn't help but notice the smallest of ice cream containers. At the time they were on sale for 10 for $10, not a bad deal. The only problem is I could eat the normal size pint and want more, so the small single serve does little to fill you up!
