This is a wonderful time in NY. I live in the Chautauqua area. The time is almost here for the harvesting of the grapes and we love to take a drive and smell the aromatic air from the grapes. I also love the cool air (really not looking forward to 6 feet of snow), the colors of the trees, warm smells from the kitchen, and the time to be doing what I want to do; lazy time of the year for me.
PS: I am 72 and retired. Now is my sewing months.
