We’ve had a hankering to try the local BBQ place our friends have been raving about. Located outside of town a bit south of 301 on Route 9 Cold Spring, Roundup Texas BBQ & Tumbleweed Saloon looks a lot like a place you find down south.
We enjoyed our dinner which included a tasting of several meats and sides. Continue reading Yes, Sir, That’s Some Mighty Fine

So many invites this Saturday night, luckily they were spread out so we could enjoy them all.
The first was Riverside Art Auction at Garrison Art Center, where the devotees of the center turned out in numbers, young and old all walks of life, all lovers of art. As were those at the Manitoga event, to celebrate the opening of the 2015 Artist in Residence works of Stephen Talasnik. And then another gathering of art lovers at The Pantry Cold Spring for an evening of music by Tall Country. Three very different events with one common denominator, a love of the Hudson Valley and art. Continue reading What an Evening of Entertainment and Celebration!
I spotted this cute little food truck while shopping at the fabulous Willow Ridge Nursery a week ago. It looked so inviting I just had to give it a try. Stopped by for lunch, tried three tasty dishes and was quite happy.

Lots of fun things to do this weekend in the Lower and Mid Hudson Valley and beyond.
We are excited that one of our favorite farmers’ market moves outdoors on Saturday, Cold Spring Farmers Market. The Hudson Valley Fair continues this weekend, 2015 Hudson Valley Fair. It is Mother’s Day weekend which does traditionally mean flowers. Check Out this great listing from our friends at Good Homes Hudson Valley, Mothers Day.
A walk to Constitution Marsh is perfect way to transition from the work day to a relaxing evening. During the week there are few people here, none at all on this day.
The walk is a little strenuous at points especially back up the road to the parking area. You’ll be ready for dinner at the end of the trail.
Spring is appearing slowly. Continue reading Back to Constitution Marsh
