outdoor dining by candlelightHow lovely to be back amongst you all. I've been a busy dragonfly fluttering about here and there, but alas, here I am sitting once again at my desk. I hope you had a lovely Memorial Day Weekend filled with joy, but also keeping in mind and heart the true meaning of the holiday.
This past month, my fella and I took a ride to Lake George and spent a lovely time in the town of Bolton Landing. There we stayed at the Boathouse Inn (right up my alley), and visited the sights thereabouts. It was my first time visiting Lake George and the Adirondack area. I must say the majestic vistas, verdure splendor, and crystal waters held me spellbound in its beauty. Would I visit again? Oh indeed I would..after all, we had a most blissful time.
The Boathouse Inn...circa 1917
View from our room. Isn't it lovely?
...another majestic view
...view from the boat during a riveting ride on the lake.
..yes it was quite windy on the back porch of the Boathouse.
Blissful after a lovely meal at the beautiful 1898 Inn At Erlowest. (Lake George)
A cozy spot in the garden...come sit and enjoy!!I've kept Mr. Knightley from hijacking my computer again..though I must admit he did write the sweetest post for Mother's Day. He's such a boy!! I simply love him oodles and oodles. I also love to share pictures of him while he's stretched out and snoozing away. He has no idea what Mama is up to when he sleeps.
*smiles wickedly*
My adorable one...snoozing away.
My adorable one...snoozing away.On the way back home this weekend, my fella and I drove on a road called Hawk's Nest on RT. 97 along the Delaware in NY. What a breathtaking view and what a wonderful photo op!

Looks foggy but somewhat mystical..don't ya think?

My dahling and I at Hawk's Nest.So you see, I've been living moment by moment, day to day, bliss to bliss. I see the sun beyond the gray clouds..I see the moon and stars when none is apparent...and I can still hear the music long after the tune has been played. Embrace each moment my dears, and remember to find your bliss!!

What a lovely post! The boat house looks like a wonderful place to stay. I'm glad you had such a great time :)
ReplyDeleteDear Kim,

I'm so glad you're having such a wonderful time! Wonderful views, and the stars up there must have been amazing (the Adirondacks are a "dark sky" area where you can get amazing views of the stars at night. I've only visited the dark sky area in PA, but it is lovely!!) Please let me know when you plan to journey to the herb farm. I stunted my genovese basil seedlings :O My thumb gets slightly greener every day!
ReplyDeleteDear Joie,
ReplyDeleteThe stars were indeed quite amazing. The weather was a bit cool that week, but nevertheless, we sat outdoors to look at the beautiful night sky. I plan for the herb farm next Wednesday if I can have someone to keep shop for me. I'll keep you posted. Miss ya and love ya!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Pictures! And I don't mean of the gorgeous scenery either, although it is lovely. I mean, of the someone who looks as if he was worth the wait. I am sooooooooooo happy for you!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBtw, I know how lovely it is, in Lake George Adirondack area. Because I live a few miles south of Lake George. [Did you notice signs along the way, for the Victorian City where the horses run in August? ,-)]
But back to the really important "stuff." He is gorgeous and you are gorgeous. And he must be just as wonderful, inside... as out. He has to be! To have captured your heart.
Mmmmmm, did I say I was happy for you? :-)
Yes I did!
But it bears repeating. :-)
Gentle hugs...
Dearest, it is so nice to see you again, and your pictures are just stunning. The music, your man, you, the lake....WOW!!!! Thank you for your gracious comments and visit. Enjoy your beautiful life everyday!!!! BISOUS! Anita
ReplyDeleteDearest Auntie,
ReplyDeleteThank you!! I knew that you would be happy to see pictures of my sweet beau. Yes..he is quite wonderful..truly a good man...and yes, I think he's gorgeous too! *smiles*
And yes, I must tell you that I thought of you when I drove past your exit. I mentioned to my fella.."Oh! Auntie Amelia lives in these parts." So needless to say, I waved to you as we drove by.
