Gnarly tree

Moved in – an update

Moving to a completely new area and a home with half the closet space can take up a lot of mental (and physical!) energy.  It’s now one month since moving in, and I am truly enjoying the space and views.  I’ve even found a local hike to get me outside, at least when it’s not a blizzard or freezing out.  The nearby Cliff Trail is easy and scenic.  Here’s a gnarly tree overlooking the Delaware River, sketched from my photo.

Turtle and garter snake

Lily Lake loop

Had a lovely walk around Lily Lake in Chenango Valley State Park the other day.  Blue skies with puffy clouds, everything seemed an unreal green. Lily lake at CV St Pk
Lucky to see a turtle sunning on a log, and nearly tripped on this large garter snake, nestled in the leaves. Turtle and garter snake
Last but not least, my favorite bird of prey, bald eagles at their nest on my way home. Bald eagle at nest
