The flowers were blooming at the beginning of June.

June 2, 2011 – We spent a few days relaxing in Western NY.  Relaxing, as usual, involved lots of yummy food (including gnocchi, grilled hot dogs, lemon raspberry cake with lemon buttercream icing, Pasquale’s pizza and Kone King), walking at Knox Farm State Park, and hunkering down to wait out a thunderstorm that eventually got worse rather than better, forcing us to call for a ride to pick us up.  Okay, so maybe that last item isn’t “as usual.”   We also had a fire (complete with roasted marshmallows and s’mores) and enjoyed playing with the kitties.

There were quite a few bluebirds at Knox Farm.

Daisy was happy during our return visit too.

Knox Farms has the biggest concentration of bobolinks that we have ever seen.
