I had a beautiful drive in the afternoon, on my way to visit my friends Doug and Nan in their country home in Cato, NY. During the drive, I had a nice conversation with Andy, but had to interrupt it to take a few pics along the way, and make it ongoing when I arrived at the house.

These are the pics I stopped to take:

Doug is a very interesting fellow - I know him from my first job up here in Central NY, and I know Nan through him. He is a technical writer by profession. He is also a guitarist, and quite good. He is the only person I have met to have survived Leukemia.

They have a garden, and all the dinner vegetables (see below) came from the garden. They get their chicken (and eggs, although that was not included) from local farms.

Here's a pic I took while the chicken with garlic and fennel was grilling:
