Saw a remarkable art installation yesterday by . Massive crewel works swung from the rafters among immersive sound. Hudson Valley art has never been more relevant or dynamic. Get a taste of it all Summer long by visiting my favorite places: , ,

Sitting with morning coffee. Leaves cast fresh Spring shadows on the old Sycamore Maple in the backyard. A cycle of life lasting over 140 years, the tree's origins unknown. The old lady has watched over this house all its life. Were you planted with care or fight your way through the earth, carried by an ancestor of these ever chattering squirrels? Scrambling around and around the fat trunk, they ignore me while a chorus of birds shout down. I hear only jibberish. In this moment I consider .renkl and , who inspire us to sit in this natural noise, as loud as any construction site, to find the quiet.

The good people you meet on the road and the stories they carry: Sweet Peggy Sue, the basset hound, rescued one hour ago by this lovely couple. Having lost their last basset hound one month ago, they drove from Northern California to give another dog a chance at life. , , , , 🐾
