Les Fleurs

I love flowers!  Every year I grow more. I love giving away bouquets and I love having fresh-cut flowers in the B & B.   Many have come and gone since Spring, but here are some of what’s in bloom in late August. I hope they put a smile on your face!

 September 2, 2024 FINGER LAKES PRODUCE AUCTION Today I had the most fun I've had in a long time at the Finger Lakes Produce Auction in Penn Yan.  There are still auctions in September and November so check them out at: Fingerlakesproduceauction.com I got there right at 9:00 (next time I'll arrive earlier; the parking lot was packed!)  Since it was my first time, I walked around and checked out the merchandise (the nursery auction started at 9:00, produce at 10:00.)  I asked a friendly-looking gentleman what to do and he explained I had to go the office and get a ticket.  It is fascinating to listen to the auctioneer, and after a while, you get the idea of how to bid.  I scored six rosebushes for $3.50 each!  There were some shrubs that caught my eye, but I had already been there for two hours and they were a long way from getting to those shrubs.

MONTEZUMA NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE Another really interesting destination less than an hour from Aubergine Bed and Breakfast is Montezuma, right off Rtes. 5 and 20 in Seneca Falls.  If you love birdwatching, this is the place for you: over 9,000 acres of nesting spots and feeding areas for migratory birds.  There are walking trails, or you can take the 3.5 mile Wildlife Drive.  There is also a Visitor Center, observations towers and educational programs. For some reason I cannot upload this really cool picture I took of the statue of a bald eagle they have there, but visit their website and you can see what I'm talking about.  Better yet, come visit and take a day trip! www.fws.gov

 GENESEE COUNTRY VILLAGE & MUSEUM Mumford, NY Just an hour's drive from Aubergine Bed and Breakfast, this is a living, working 19th century village.  You can visit the potter, cooper, blacksmith, historic kitchens and a working brewery.  It is open May to October with special events all year long.  There are farm animals, the John L. Wehle Gallery and a Nature Center, and special events like antique shows and craft beer tastings. Truly something for everyone!  Be sure to make this a stop on your next visit to the Finger Lakes.   www.gcv.org                                                                 This gazebo on the village property is something I'd love to have at Aubergine!
