I was able to quickly cut the grass this morning very early. I jumped out of bed, threw on old clothes and went out. It stayed cloudy and cool and breezy and I finished in good time – then got a shower and breakfast. My intention was to pull some weeds this afternoon but it’s too warm and humid. I’ll see what happens this evening. But sure glad the grass is cut.

So the second part of our Thursday in New York was at Saratoga battlefields. So much history there. The most interesting fact for me was below:
Interesting!
Beautiful day; beautiful sky!
In visitor’s center
Battlefield outside the Visitor Center
Miles and miles…
The Nielson Farmhouse was abandoned early in the war, but when the Neilson’s came back to claim it the American troops had taken it. They eventually got it back.

Looks like Little House on the Prairie.
After we watched the movie in the visitor’s center, we got in the car and drove the nine mile road through the battlefields. We learned something different at every stop.
Mushroom
At stop 9 we pulled in and shared lunch above the Hudson river. We were just finishing up when it started to rain. The fields were very solemn and hallowed remembrances.

The cloud looks like Chernobyl nuclear explosion! Over the Hudson.
Rain chased us to the car.
