Central Park Rose Garden

So I have been very bad in posting and it isn't because I haven't been finding fun and great things to do in Schenectady, it is because I have been out doing them! Recently had a friend ask me why I stopped writing because they would often view my posts and make plans to follow in my footsteps so to speak, so here I am and hopefully I will be more diligent in posting so that you may also make plans and enjoy where you live as much as I do. One of the things that I enjoy doing every week (and sometimes several times a week) is to take a walk around Schenectady. Today I will highlight one of the places that I walk and that is Central Park. Central Park, is so peaceful, has a beautiful pond and a lot of wildlife. A few weeks ago, a goose decided to join my friend Carmel and me on our walk. It is always fun to have a new friend along.

As Carmel and I continued on our walk, and certainly no walk through Central Park is complete without a stop at the Central Park Rose Garden. If you have never been, then please in the next week or two make it a priority. I promise you, it is worth the trip and don't forget to bring along your camera because there are some lovely photo opportunity locations. I have seen several wedding parties there this summer! Let me know how your visit was and please share a photo also.

After the snow - February 9, 2013

Sometimes time has a way of just passing by so fast. I haven't written on this blog for quite some time and I am unsure why since the reason I started it was to highlight all that is good here in Schenectady and I still love this area and all that is has to offer. So have decided to jump back in. Today, was just another wonderful day in the City of Schenectady. Between Friday night and Saturday morning, we received almost a foot of snow, making everything look clean and new. My morning began by shoveling the driveway and walk, after that I took a walk over to More Perreca's for a lovely breakfast of eggs, sausage, and slices of their fresh bread toasted to perfection with Elaine Kemner (my son's girlfriend).  After that, a quick walk over the Schenectady County Public Library for a new book. This year's One County One Book is The Art of Racing in the Rain, and if you are looking for a good book, I highly recommend this one. We are blessed with so many good things here in the City of Schenectady and today was just another great day. I love to read and if you do too, I suggest a stop at the Schenectady Library for something new and if you decide to have breakfast before going, I say stop by More Perreca's on your way and enjoy your day!
