One Hot Weekend Day in Millerton

We've had some unseasonably hot and dry weather lately. Is there a better excuse to enjoy some chocolate ice cream, courtesy of our neighbor Danna (the ice cream and the front porch)?

Good and Bad Gardening - update

The blossoms on the squash and string beans are beautiful. So beautiful they could be added to an exotic bouquet.

Good and Bad Gardening

The good news is, I was able to harvest some beautiful potatoes (red and purple), some more radish and sugar snap peas.

The bad news, the Japanese Beetles have arrived. This one is having a feast on my cherry tree.

Rest assured, I've set up Japanese Beetle traps around the property and have sprayed my cherry and plum trees (their favorites) with non-toxic Japanese Beetle repellent.

Millerton's Pool and Recreation

This Past Weekend We Found The Pool.

Located on Rt. 22, just about a mile north of Millerton's town-center, is this beautiful pool and recreational center.

The first day we went it was a little busy due to the hot hot weather and the day-camps. The next day it was a little cooler and a lot less people. Cost? $2 per child (Adults $4 each).

There is also a very nice play ground, basketball court and baseball/soccer field.

I also found out that Millerton offer's a day-camp for children... $85/week! Coming from Manhattan, those price are crazy cheap!
