Catskills and Poconos Mountains

Wendy's house in the woods

Last week I drove up to Phoenicia NY located in the lovely Catskill Mountains, to visit my friend Wendy Grossman.
Wendy owns and operates her own hand painted furniture business. It was amazing to watch her work, the confidence, artistry and skill she demonstrates.
You can view and purchase her work at The Artful Home.
The town also sports Illustrator Laura Levine's antique shop, The Mystery Spot.
I went tubbing- sorry no photos of that.

The kitties are Wendy's the others were at a farm I visited in the poconos. The donkeys were snotty.

Then I headed to the Pocono Mountains to visit family. We picked blueberries and ate, and ate!!! Saw happy farm animals and again ate and ate.
It was also a week of Cats, Wendy has two kittens who kept each other occupied while providing me with entertainment. My Cousins both have many cats. I was taken with Willie. He's a handsome boy.
