Happy weekend and Happy Father’s Day! How was your week? We’ve been soaking up the summer weather and enjoying puttering around in our makeshift backyard garden - we clipped our first little zinnia bouquet last night and we’re seeing a few tomatoes start to take shape - it’s the summer of the garden, for sure. Are you guys spending lots of time in the yard too?
It’s going to be a hot one this weekend - here’s what’s on our radar:
At Restaurants - INSIDE!: Who knew that would be something we’d ever be typing with excitement?! That’s right friends, you can now enjoy indoor dining at your favorite restaurants. Though with this weather, we’re pretty sure everyone will still be lining up for patio dining! Where are you headed this weekend?
Strawberry Picking: ‘Tis the season! The perfect socially distanced activity with the reward of a perfect summer dessert! We’ve heard of two strawberry farms open for picking - Ariel’s Farm in Gansevoort and Hand Melon Farm in Greenwich. Any others? The big question now - strawberry shortcake or strawberry rhubarb pie?
Barn Sales: Oh, how we’ve missed our afternoons out treasure hunting at antique sales! Here’s one in Hudson Falls (Friday only) that you won’t want to miss (we went to the early bird sale today and it was packed with great finds!).
For Dad, Of Course: Here are just a few ideas from local shops that we stumbled across while perusing Instagram:
A few cans of their favorite cold beverage from Common Roots or Mean Max, or a bottle of the good stuff from Springbrook Hollow Distillery
All things outdoors from Fountain Square Outfitters
A quirky card from Rude Betty, with a thoughtful handwritten note inside
The coolest ADK swag from Pure Adirondacks
A round of golf at his favorite local course (here’s a recent recommendation from Gordon)
A gift card to any of our amazing downtown restaurants
Enjoy your weekend!
