And the colors are much brighter now. It's like they really want to tell the truth
We give our testimony to the end of the summer. It's the end of the summer.
You can spin the light to gold -- Dar Williams
Like a shock to our systems it's suddenly time to move from the lazy hazy days of summer into a life of less forgiving S.C.H.E.D.U.L.E.S. Yes, it's time to pick up where we left off not so long ago. The college kids have moved back into their dorms & apartments after a flurry of spending and packing; our co-ed left yesterday and today our home is suddenly quieter than before she left. School is starting and with it comes schedules for sports, clubs, lessons of all kinds and the carpools that revolve around them.
But wait - let's not forget that autumn is famous for some of the most beautiful weather of the year. Fall festivals take center stage as we enjoy the fruits of summer's bounty. The air becomes cooler, the grapes are ready for harvest, leaves begin to show their brilliant colors. Don't miss out on Chautauqua County's many autumn splendors - we're ready to dazzle you with our wines, art, galleries, shops and restaurants.
Come for the day or an overnight stay
we're close to home but far from everyday life!
