Four Corners of a Full Day

Love this little old built-in wood desk tucked next to the hearth in a room at the
historic Sherwood Inn in Skaneateles [pronounced Skinny Atlas].

Time travel: Once a home, now a real estate agency.

Watching from the inn corridor.

1. Breakfast at 11 Waters. At the buffet, I liked the mason jars of homemade salsa and shredded cheese to top scrambled eggs. Nice! Also, good coffee [from Cafe Kubal, a small-batch roaster in Syracuse] and a glass of fresh NY milk.
2. Finger Lakes vineyards. We tasted hard cider and apple gin and apple vodka at Beak & Skiff and five different pours at Anyela's Vineyard. I really can't hold my liquor--let alone hold it in the daytime--so I did use the dump bucket to empty my glass between sipping. At the first place, nice Honeycrisp Apple Wine, really crisp and fresh. At the second, full-bodied reds to serve with steak or sharp cheese, and a very good Riesling.
3. Sweet treats. I allowed myself to eat some chocolate today from the Chocolate Pizza Company in Marcellus [it's candy, not dough] and one large peanut butter chocolate chip cookie from the little yellow fairy-tale Patisserie next to the Sherwood Inn. And now, I am finished. Lots of ice water by my side.
4. Hotel comforts. Love the big hotel ice machine and bucket, appreciated even more after that hot summer when we didn't have a working fridge and had to lug home bags of ice from the store. Also grateful for stacks of clean white face cloths and towels.

Good night.
