for Jeanetta and myself and anyone else in Upstate NY.Once those temps hit like "Today's High is 32 degrees" Pansy Moss does not leave home.
The weather is so different here than it was 4 hours south in New Jersey. Summer does not hit until like the very end of June, and the first week of September it is Fall. But I have to say, autumn up here is breathtaking. All I can say is "just friggin beautiful"!
Our farm is located in the Mohawk Valley, about 15 miles west of the North American Martyrs Shrine where Bl. Kateri was baptised and St. Isaac Jogues was martyred. His body was thrown in the Mohawk River, so I think that makes the river Holy Water?? Not sure. I also live not far from where Bl. Kateri was born.
It is funny, because when you are originally from downstate NY, the City to be more specific, it is like an entirely different country. People leave NY City and travel the world to seek out beautiful places without realising how lovely it is a few hours northwest.
