Coming to Clinton NY

Hi Everyone,
I know I am actually blogging again and now I am back on the east coast. It was an interesting trip driving back across the country again. I am so glad that drive is over! 00 miles a day, about 8 to 10 hours driving each day.It took me 6 days to get back to the east coast. Would I do it again? NO, I am glad I won't have to drive that kind of distance again!
I thought I would show you a few pictures of my home town. It is a small town and has alot of things going on for a small town. I am staying wih my son Jacob, till I can get my own place or maybe I will go have another adventure and go east more or south ,one never knows where life will take you!
Jacob lives tiht in the village, so i was real surprised to see the wildlife so close. Behind Jacob's house is a wooded area and in front of his house (on the other side of the road) is another wooded grassy area..My second day here I saw a deer and her fawn out in the back yard. Or maybe I should say the deer was in the back yard ,but the fawn couldn't jump the fence, so he just waited for "mom" to come back.
Just the other night I almost ran into a red fox, I am not sure who scared who the most ,I know he was about 15 feet away before I realized it was a fox not a big house cat!
The one thing I just love seeing at night are the fireflies !! I go out each night to watch them, I am talking about 100;s of little green lights gong off and on thur the night till about 11.
Then lets nor forgot about all the trees, maple , elm, ash, willows and grass! I have run thru the grass in bare foot just to feel it once more and the smell of fresh mowed grass is wonderful. Flowers all over the place, day lilies, violets, just to name a few.
The town has a church that rings the bell for the hour of the day, so just in case you are sure of the time, you will hear the bell start to go off and all you need to do is count the rings to know the time, the ring on the hour.
Clinton has a big oval park in the middle of town, I guess that is why they call it the "Village on the Green" So, the shops line one side of the street and are opposite the "green" Well during the summer on Tuesday night they have a band that plays in the gazebo , bands each Tuesday, you will hear blues, grass-blues polka bands. you just never know what band will be there. Then on Thursday they have a farmers market where you can buy fresh veggies and fruits that are grown locally.
I also found an artist co-op In town, which I will be bring a few things in this next week, they jury who work goes in there. but I don't think it will be a problem for my work.
They are also having a big Art and Music Festival at the end of August, I was to late to sign up for the artist part, but I did write an e-mail and I "just" so happen to attached a picture of my work, saying that if they got a cancellation to please let me know. Well I got an e-mail back and they loved what I did and will find me a spot so I will be in the show. This event is one of the biggest in the county. I feel at least I am getting my name back out there, I may not sell much, but the exposure could help me out allot.
Well I guess I need to get to the pictures now.... My first picture is of my baby cat Maxwell , I thought you all might like to met him
