Took a road trip yesterday to Sharon Springs -- a 2 1/2 hour trip from home. Sharon Springs was in its heyday a spa with sulfur waters. Then the inevitable decline, a revival sparked from NYC folks, National Historic designation to save the old buildings, and now features cafes and small shops, a lot of them featuring goat soap, goat lotion, goat milk mac & cheese, etc. But what I really got excited about was the farmland on Route 145.

Because we've had lots of storms, the hills are a vivid green. And I lucked into some fantastic clouds yesterday.

I had expected to take lots of picturesque ruin-type of photos, but that wasn't what I saw for the most part.

Instead, saw a lot of lovely old buildings, in various states of being lovingly restored.

Had a late lunch at the Black Cat Cafe -- mac and cheese made with local Beekman cheese and goat milk. Tangy and delicious. Topped with a machiato coffee, shades of Italy!

On the way home, took photos of great barns. Will post those tomorrow. Nice trip!
