The town next to Skaneateles is Auburn, New York. It sits just north of Owasco Lake.
It has a beautiful little park that Teddy likes.
The ducks are so tame they barely move when you approach them.
It has a quaint little gazebo.
And fountains in the pond.
Everything in this park has been build or planted as memorials to people from Auburn who have died.
Auburn was the home to Harriot Tubman.
Then we headed to wine country.
This is a beautiful winery on Seneca Lake but it wasn't open yet.
It was a perfect Fall morning.
Next we stopped at Fox Run Vineyards.
Creative pumpkin carving. They weren't open either. Wineries are best visited in the afternoons.
We passed many little family cemeteries.
This is cabbage country. The largest sauerkraut company in the country is a few miles away and there are cabbage fields as far as you can see. On the highway we passed massive trucks loaded with cabbages. Cabbage leaves were flying through the air.
We stopped at this little farm stand and bought cabbages bigger than bowling balls.
Then we came across this honey stand.
The woman that owns the stand paints many of the honey jars.
This place, like most others, works on an honor system. You take what you want and leave the money in the box. I bought 20 pounds of honey. They were selling it for $4.00 a pound. Granola making is in the near future!

I like it when they trust people enough to place the honey like that, sort of gives hope for humanity that this till happens :-) What a nice thing to paint the jars too!
Have a great day now!

I would be so excited to come upon a honey stand! They are the first places I stop at the farmers markets. Beautiful bottles!
By the way the park seemed so lovely and peaceful!
Green grass we sure have fall like looking weather.
No leaves on the trees at this time.
Coffee is on.
