But last night the weather service issued a winter storm watch for the areas all around us. It started raining around 9 last evening and is still raining. The forecast is for damaging winds and flood warnings. We already have reservations here tonight so we will stay. We are just getting ready to go for the continental breakfast that is included in our room reservation and we will decide what we are going to do today. I don't think a train trip or a boat cruise is in order.
I do have some pictures to share from yesterday and the day before:
This Moose is in the front on the Old Forge Art Center and I couldn't go by without taking his picture. We stopped at the Center, but all they had going on was a quilt show. Don't get me wrong, I love quilts, but didn't feel like paying to see them.
This is a quick picture out the car window of the hillside on the way to Lake George. We were happy to see that this area still had color.
This is Blue Mountain Lake. It was really beautiful and peaceful. There were several small boats on the lake. I'm guessing they were either fishing or just enjoying the weather.
This is a great, quick pic of the Hudson River. We stopped for a short time at a pull out on the road along the way.
It is time for a cup of coffee. I think we can get to the breakfast room without going out in the rain. I'll try to post again tomorrow.

What beautiful countryside! And I love that moose! I hope your plans don't get rained out today and have a great breakfast.
ReplyDeleteOh my, I am from Lake George, are you still up there?
ReplyDeleteWe're still in Lake George. Went on a day trip to Ticonderoga and back to the motel for a nap.
ReplyDeleteIt is still raining.

Too bad it's raining! Can you paint anything in your room or from the dining room of the motel? Even pix taken in the rain would be good...at least you'd have a pictorial memory to fall back on. Send thought of sunshine your way? When will you be back home?
ReplyDeleteWe've been busy all day and I took lots of pix through the car windows. The hard part was getting the point and shoot to shoot through the raindrops and to get my timing right to miss the windshield wiper.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow we are heading west to Cooperstown and hoping for sunny skies. Still haven't had the paints out, but am having a great time with the hubster.
