no lights during the hurricane

 That's how me and Justin were spending our time without electricity the other day. Yes, the hurricane Sandy had us stay in the apartment for a few days, luckily we have saved enough food and liquor to keep us indoors. I can honestly say I have washed dishes almost twenty times for the past three days,so I'm not looking forward to stepping on a scale any time soon after this forced hibernation.

stone barns, upstate

I've been waiting to leave the city to watch the fall foliage for a while now, so Sleepy Hollow turned out to be a great choice! We got off at Tarrytown train station on Metro-North and took a cab to the Stone Barns Farms which was about 15 minutes away.

We found Blue Hill cafe and a restaurant on site, as well as a farmers market and a small shop with beautiful recipe books and kitchen towels. The map at the information desk shows the locations of various animals on the farm. 

The most photogenic persona of the farm.

autumn is here

Wow, have you noticed? I've been missing for a while, caught up with work, school and my new internship. The autumn came so quickly and it makes me miss living in the suburbs. All the beautiful leaf colors, fresh air and so much space, that is why tomorrow me and Jacqui are going to Sleepy Hollow, NY.  Even though all the spooky tours are sold out, we are going to simply enjoy the outdoors. 
Best,
