| Last week my husband Paul and I visited lovely Central New York, where we grew up and started our family together. The weather is usually warm and sunny in late August, and we weren't disappointed this year. We drove around the beautiful hilly farmlands of Madison and Onondaga County, and visited a working hops farm. I was able to take some reference photos of several old hops buildings for a painting for an upcoming show of historic farms at The Gallery of CNY in late September. We dined in the courtyard of iconic Lincklaen House (see my colored pencil drawing "Travelling Light") in the quaint lakeside village of Cazenovia, the home of The Gallery of CNY. The first course was warm popovers hot from the oven. The onion rings were golden brown and lightly crisped. And of course Paul and I enjoyed our haddock sandwich and cole slaw, which is a Central New York tradition. Distant sailboats danced on shimmering Cazenovia Lake as we headed back to Syracuse.
