26 April 2009 Photos: Spa-tastic

We got up early again this morning and went to enjoy the hot tub and steam baths at Mirbeau. We had an amazing room with a patio overlooking the gardens. This is one of the most amazing places and it is only 30 minutes from home. If you are looking for a get-away, come here for a visit...it is well worth it! http://www.mirbeau.com/spa.html

We also had a great dinner over the weekend at Rosalie's Cucina. I had a pasta dish which was the closest I have ever had to the way my mom used to make it. If you are looking for good Italian, check this place out: http://www.rosaliescucina.com/

Finally, while I was away my tulip tree exploded into it's full beauty. I have updated it here:

25 April 2009 Photos: Itsy Bitsy Sunrising Spiders

We got up early this morning and went to watch the sunrise on Skaneateles Lake. Bill took me to Mirbeau Inn and Spa to celebrate my birthday which was last month. While we were walking in town witnessed the bright sun rising over the church in town and also caught the itsy bitsy spider preparing her breakfast. The sun was so bright, I did not get the web in the photo, but I like the way the spider and flies appear to just be hanging in mid air.

The day turned out to be in the upper 80s and we enjoyed the rest of the day with a picnic on the lake, relaxing at the spa and wandering through the stores in town.
