Some hiatus!  I have not posted since the Covid lockdown two years ago!  It has been a strange time; 2020 no one was traveling, then 2021 everyone wanted to get out.  I am hoping that the worst is behind us and that we can get back to "normal!"

I have continued to visit and explore new and exciting places and attractions here in the Finger Lakes during the pandemic, and would love to share some of these experiences with you so that you can be aware of the abundance and beauty of the region, and take advantage of the opportunity to see them for yourselves.

In my role as Board member of the Yates County Chamber of Commerce, as well as President of the Finger Lakes Bed and Breakfast Association, I try to stay on top of all of the happenings and new businesses in the area.  Please feel free to go to the comment section and let me know what you would like to learn more about.  And remember, most wineries and restaurants are requiring reservations now, so it pays to plan ahead.  

Happy New Season!  I hope to see you soon at Aubergine Bed and Breakfast!




                 We had our own "Burning of the Canes" at Aubergine.  (these were raspberry canes!)

 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. There is a food stand with all kinds of breakfast sandwiches, ice cream, and this day they had a chicken b...

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

Spotted Duck Frozen Custard

Anyone who knows me knows that ice cream is my favorite thing (well, maybe after creme  brûlée!). And Aubergine guests will attest to the fact that I always send them to Spotted Duck!  It’s right up the road, on Route 54.  Frozen custard is made with egg yolks and these delightful folks make theirs with duck eggs!  And the ducks (as well as geese and other birds) are right there on the property. They make amazing flavors, kids can have fun looking at the animals and they do flights!  Heaven!   spottedduckflx.com
