Racing season

There is only one week left to the thoroughbred horse racing season. It is kind of sad in a way-the B&B business drops off, the excitement in Saratoga quiets down, and Richard and I have only each other to look at!!

We have had such wonderful guests here-one couple will be here a total of 12 days when they leave the day after Labor Day. They are terrific and we will miss them. They actually drove up from Florida, with stops at family and friends along the way. We also had another couple here just for the weekend and they, too, drove all the way from Florida.

One of our guests who left this morning does tree climbing for New York City. He saw our weeping birch and told us it really needed trimming. He offered to do it for us-wish I had taken before and after pictures. The "after" is gorgeous. What a difference it made for that tree. It looks very happy now.
