The Dog Days of August are not so doggone bad at Windham!
Cool mountain breezes keep the humidity low
Escape the heat and humidity of the City for some rest and relaxation in the Catskill Mountains. The hiking, water sports, festivals, farm markets and concerts are in full swing this time of year.
Picking Blueberries
I love this time of year here in the Catskills. The local farmers markets and farm stands in the area are fully stocked with all kinds of goodies. But nothing is more satisfying than picking your own blueberries on a beautiful summer day. Blueberries have been a major focus on our breakfast menus these past couple of weeks, along with many other goodies that we pick up daily from the local farms. After picking you may want to go tubing. They are releasing the dam at Esopus creek in nearby Phoenicia August 30th, 31st and September 1st… it will be great fun tubing for Labor Day Weekend! Hiking nearby Kaaterskill Falls or Pratt Rock, is always a treat, we would love to pack a picnic for you to enjoy after your hike The “Cat's Meow”
Take a short drive to nearby historic Catskill and you will get a first hand look at the talent of local artists whether you are a cat lover or not at Cat-n-around Catskill. Go on Saturday and head to the huge farmers market at the Point, and then head into downtown, grab lunch at a quaint café, stroll into some wonderful, unique shops for antiques, gifts and really hip household items at Hood and Company and check out the Cats along Main Street! A purr-fect way to spend the day! Sway to the Rhythm at the Field of Dreams Concert in Windham August 22nd featuring the Marshall Tucker Band
