Once Upon a Dream

September is one of my favorite months, and not just because it is my birthday month. I love the warm days and cool nights, I love the abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables, and I love being able to return a light blanket to the bed, for some reason it is very comforting for me.

Baker Farms

Locally, the produce stands and farmers markets are overflowing with wonderful fresh local fruits and vegetables just waiting to be introduced into my breakfasts: garden fritatta, veggie omelet, fresh fruit in the scones. Long about now I change out the flavors of my scones to include apple spice, ginger peach, corn and pumpkin. Of course you can still request your favorite.

The days are still warm enough to enjoy the Maid of the Mist, or a Whirlpool Jetboat ride, but sleeping is wonderful with the windows open to the breeze. October will see the changing of the leaves and the colors should be more vibrant this year. A great time to walk the Niagara gorge trails, a riot of colors around you.

Harvest and Craft Festival

Harvest and Craft Festival

As most of you know, Labor Day does not signal the end of the festival season here in Lewiston. The Peach Festival is September 11-13 and the Harvest and Craft Festival as well as the Power Authority Wildlife Festival are the 26^th and 27^th. Check out the Lewiston Country Fair and Community Yard Sale on September 19^th. You can start your holiday shopping early by attending these events. Remember, edible crafts make perfect gifts for those who think they already have everything and no place to put more.

Having told you all of this I have to say that there are only one or two room opening for all of September and I will be closed come October first.

  Thank you for making my bed and breakfast dream come true. With your help I have had 14 wonderful years as owner of Sunny's Roost Bed and Breakfast. Now it's time to get ready for my next dream, being near our sons and their families. I'll keep all your addresses and if I decide I need something to do and I open another B&B, I'll let you know where I am.
