Born in Syracuse, I migrated to Boston for college, and have been living in MetroWest ever since. Now that I've been away for 13 years, I appreciate CNY more and more each time I go back to visit family. While these industrial cities are still struggling, the glories of the surrounding rolling hills, the dairy farms, and apple orchards remain. I hope that the new and trendy "farm to table" movement and agro-tourism reinvigorates the economy in this area.Thank you for sharing your appreciation of the area as a visitor!

Wonderful post about Kathy's beautiful gardens and stunning autumn views from Upstate New York! I lived in that area and visit there often and absolutely agree that autumn is splendidly showcased in this pastoral region. So thrilled to meet you and Dee and so many others at the Garden Bloggers Conference and already planning for next year!

She is a special person and her gardens reflect that well.

You are correct – Kathy is amazing, I wish I could write as well as she does, and even though I complain far too much about my 'time' issues, I really wonder how Kathy does it all!

She always gives thorough and accurate information and is a delightful person to boot. So glad you got the chance to visit her garden. I hope to some day.

She is indeed a wonderful and knowledgeable writer, and naturalist. Her ColdClimateGardening blog is full of careful observations of her garden and the wild one around her.

I love that you have captured her and parts of her garden so beautifully. I also hope to visit her garden someday.
