We’ve explored the little towns/villages along the Hudson river – like Ossining where Sing Sing prison is. While coming back from the city on the train, Ruthi overhead a tourist comment that they put the prison on prime real estate and the prisoners much have great views of the river – locals corrected him about the views prisoners have there. Sleep Hollow is a real town. Washington Irving lived in Islington near by. We drove and shopped in Peekskill, White Plains, Yonkers, Port Chester, (all in New York) and Greenwich Connecticut.
We have a small pretty yellow finch trying to mate with our windows. He much be gay as his reflection would indicate that he was trying to mate with another male. We have had a lot of robins and wrens but today we saw a bright red cardinal.
