leaf peeping fun by anne pyburn craig

Overlook Fire Tower

From the end of September through the middle of October, the Hudson Valley is an autumn lover’s feast. Anywhere you go, you’re surrounded by the reds, golds, and oranges of the year’s grand finale— Mother Nature’s dramatic costume change.

outdoors drive

Once you’re out in the countryside, you can head in almost any direction—it’s hard to go wrong here. Some of our favorites:

The absolute peak of color at any given spot lasts about four days, hitting the Adirondacks a couple of weeks before rolling down into the lower valley. You can get the latest foliage report by calling 1-800-225-5697.

Leaf peeping is ideal socially distant fun; there’s plenty of space out there for all of us to be considerate, even as we share the beauty. And, please, for all our sakes, remember to Leave No Trace. Here, for your peeping planning, are a cornucopia of splendid options for fulfilling your foliage fantasies:

Route 44/55 west of Gardiner takes you over the Shawangunk Ridge, with scenic overlooks offering spectacular views of the Hudson Valley to the east, the Rondout Valley and Catskills to the west.

Route 52 west of Pine Bush is the beatiful southern crossing of the Gunks, with panoramic viewsheds on both sides. mtnscenicbyway.org Route 44 east of Poughkeepsie takes you deep into rolling farms and forests. In fact, the folks at Dutchess County Tourism have compiled a wonderful list of self-guided scenic drive possibilities, sure to be stunning when seasoned with leaves. dutchesstourism.com/PDF/2005-Brochures/tour4.pdf

visitvortex.com

It’s an ever-changing kaleidoscope from day to day, a blaze of glory against bright blue sky, a luminous wonder against rainclouds. Get out and immerse yourself—the photos and memories will warm your soul till spring returns.

Route 28 west of Kingston (take Thruway Exit 19) is like driving into a giant Hudson River School painting any time of year. West of Woodstock, the road narrows to two lanes, crossing and recrossing the Esopus, offering places to pull over, gaze, and stretch. sceniccatskills.com

bike

Rail Trails offer mostly-flat, laid-back rides with gorgeous backdrops. From the 13-mile William R. Steinhaus Dutchess Rail Trail in the east to the O&W in the Rondout Valley, they’re great places for a family ride. Don’t forget the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail, which will take you from Gardiner on up through New Paltz to Rosendale and beyond with a spectacular Shawangunk Ridge view.

The O&W Rail Trail: theoandwrailtrail.org Dutchess Rail Trail: dutchessny.gov/Departments/Parks/Dutchess-Rail-Trail.htm Wallkill Valley Rail Trail: wallkillvalleylt.org/wvrt

Carriage roads and trails at Mohonk Preserve and Minnewaska State Park take you deep into the enchantment of the Shawangunks. With about 80 miles of bike riding available, you never know what the next bend may reveal.

Mapping A New Course

ith over 8,000 acres of mountain cliffs, forests, fields, streams and other beautiful natural places, developing and maintaining excellent wayfinding tools for Mohonk Preserve’s 300,000 annual visitors is imperative, and a tall order.

Over the past two years, led by the organization’s Geographic Information System (GIS) expert and Land Projects Manager Ed Pestone, the Preserve has been engaged in a comprehensive evaluation and redesign of its maps, onland signage, and other wayfinding tools.

Wayfinding is more than just a process of getting from point A to point B—it also involves understanding options for activities, such as hiking, climbing, or cycling; levels of difficulty such as elevation, distance, or trail types; and locations of natural features such as scenic vistas or waterfalls.

Before Ed undertook the wayfinding project, the Preserve was using a 20-year-old, handdrawn map by artist Jack Fagan, who has contributed many natural history illustrations to the Preserve. After Mr. Fagan decided to step away from mapmaking, the Preserve took a compre-

hensive look at not just the map, but all the onland wayfinding assets.

A working group of Preserve staff was assembled, including members from Land Protection, Stewardship, Education, Development, and Marketing & Communications, along with interns working with Ed. “Input from Preserve Rangers and Visitor Services staff was particularly helpful in identifying some of the challenges of the existing wayfinding tools based on their on-land experience with visitors,” Ed noted. “Also getting perspectives from people who were very experienced map users and those who had little to no experience with maps allowed us to include features suited to both audiences.”

An important goal of the wayfinding system update was to include new areas of the Preserve, such as the Giant’s Ledges Trailhead, which branches off of the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail in Rosendale, and the Testimonial Gateway and Duck Pond Trailheads at the Mohonk Preserve Foothills in New Paltz. Also included is the River-to-Ridge Foothills Loop Trail, created jointly by the Open Space Institute and Mohonk Preserve, along with the Samuel F.

The new full-color map is available for sale at the Preserve’s Visitor Center. There are also free area maps with suggested hikes and activities at all trailheads.

Pryor III Shawangunk Gateway Campground, co-managed by the Preserve and the American Alpine Club, and the Marakill Woods, which the Preserve is managing for the Palisades Interstate Parks Commission, both in Gardiner.

During the project, Ed worked closely with the Preserve’s Marketing & Communications team on the design and branding elements and with Education program staff on the wayfinding signage and accessibility features.

The new full-color map, printed on weather- and tear-resistant paper, is available for sale at the Preserve’s Visitor Center.

“Some important features of the new map include the addition of elevation information, which is especially helpful for new Preserve users, along with the addition of color to identify trails and natural features,” Ed noted. “Special consideration was given to accessibility when choosing font sizes and colors. Also, along with a comprehensive new physical map, we will soon be offering a digital option for download from the Avenza Maps app.”

ities at all trailheads. Additionally, new trail map signage has been placed at select trailheads, and updated directional trail signs are being installed throughout the Preserve.

The Preserve’s Trail Map project was supported with funding from the New York State Conservation Partnership Program and New York’s Environmental Protection Fund, administered by the Land Trust Alliance and Department of Environmental Conservation.

The Preserve was also fortunate to work with 26

Williams & Heintz Map Corporation, a fifthgeneration map design and production firm with over 100 years of experience.

As Ed knows, updating and refining wayfinding is a continuous process. “We already have a list of changes for our next printing, which I’m sure will continue to grow,” he said. Ed is also updating the latest version of the online mapping program he uses. Fortunately, the Preserve’s GIS expert is up to the task of keeping the Preserve and its visitors on course for the future!

Stop by the Visitor Center to pick up a new map and explore scenery that you never have before.

The well-maintained carriage roads, hiking trails, and climbing cliffs at Mohonk offer options for explorers of all levels, and there’s no better way to be immersed in the beauty that each season has to offer.

One hundred varieties of apples are grown commercially in the US. Here’s a bite out of seven Hudson Valley favorites.

Sometimes the name of an apple says it all. Honeycrisp apples are honey sweet (with a touch of tart) and amazingly crisp, some say “explosively crisp.”

The Gala is a new variety of apple made for kids and developed in New Zealand. It’s got the mild flavor that “picky eaters” prefer and a striking bright red-yellow color that attracts the eye!

Some people think that Golden Delicious is simply the yellow cousin of the popular Red Delicious apple.

They’re actually just related in name only. This honey sweet apple is a special treat all on its own.

Taste/Texture: Sweet, grainy, and mild

Taste/Texture: Mild, sweet, and juicy

Nothing evokes fall better than the aromatic fragrance of McIntosh apples. People have enjoyed this apple since 1811 when John McIntosh discovered the first seedling.

McIntosh apples grow particularly well in New York’s cool climate!

Eating: Alone and in salads

Eating: Alone, salads, sauces, pies, baking

Taste/Texture: Sweet, tart with crisp, juicy flesh Eating: Alone, salads, sauces, pies, baking

Taste/Texture: Sweet, tart, and juicy Eating: Salads, sauces, and pies

FUN APPLE FACTS:

• An apple tree will start bearing fruit 8 to 10 years after it is planted. A dwarf tree starts bearing in 3 to 6 years.

• It takes about 36 apples to create one gallon of apple cider. Two pounds of apples make one nine-inch pie.

Bite into a Crispin for a great crunch and mouthful of sweet juice. It’s one of the most satisfying snacks around!

Jonagolds make excellent baked goodies. Jonagold is another success story from the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva. It’s a cross between mellow Golden Delicious and tart Jonathan.

The story goes that in 1868, Iowan apple grower Jesse Hiatt discovered a seedling so strong, it kept coming back after he killed it. It went on to become the most widely known apple in the world.

ho memad e apple p i e • 7 cups sliced, peeled tart apples • 1 tbsp. lemon juice • 1/2 cup sugar • 2 tbsp. flour • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon • 1/4 tsp. nutmeg • dash ground cloves • 1 tbsp. butter • 1 Pastry for Double-Crust Pie

1. In a large mixing bowl toss apples with lemon juice. Combine sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Add to apples and toss until apples are coated. Set apple mixture aside.

2. Prepare Pastry for Double-Crust Pie. Divide dough in half. Form each half into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 ball of dough into a 36

recipe by teresa hewitt

pa s t ry f o r d o u b l e - c ru s t p i e

Stir together 2-1/4 cups flour and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Using a pastry cutter, cut in 2/3 cup butter until pieces are pea sized. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon cold water over part of the mixture; gently toss with a fork. Push moistened dough to the side of the bowl. Repeat, using 1 tablespoon cold water at a time, until all the dough is moistened (6 to 8 tablespoons water total). Refrigerate up to a day.

12-inch circle. Ease pastry into a 9-inch pie plate.

3. Transfer apple mixture to pastry-lined pie plate.

Dot with butter or margarine. Trim pastry even with pie plate. For top crust, roll out the second piece of dough. Cut dough into 1/2-inch wide strips. Lay half of the strips on the filling in one direction, and weave the other half in the other direction.

Trim the strips even with the edge of the bottom of the crust. Flute the edges.

4. To prevent overbrowning, cover the edge of the pie with foil. Bake in a 375˚ F oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil; bake for 20 to 25 minutes more or until the top is golden brown and apples are tender. Serve warm or cool. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

tips for a successful pie

b y j u dy c l a r k e , p ro s p e c t h i l l o rc h a r d s

• Invest in a pastry cloth and rolling pin stocking.

• Handle the flour mixture “lightly” throughout the process.

• Be careful not to over stir the flour/butter mixture as you add the ice water.

• Chilling the dough for several hours will make it easier to roll.

• Be careful not to add too much flour to the dough as you roll it out.

• When rolling the dough, roll from the center all around the “clock;” do not roll back and forth, that stretches the dough.

• Never re-roll a crust; rather, patch the tears with more dough and/or cold water.

• The dough is easier to handle if it is slightly wet rather than slightly dry.

• Don’t over fill the pie—this will stretch the top crust which will fall or rise up high while the fruit sinks to the bottom.

• Bake your pie in a hot, preheated oven. Your pie is done when the fruit is juicing and the crust is nicely browned.

• Place your pie in the lower half of your hot oven, so the bottom crust can bake before the fruit starts to juice.

our farms

The vineyards of the Hudson Valley are among the busiest of places in the fall, as the grapes ripen for picking and the winemaking process

F

all harvest is a busy time in the Hudson Valley. Leaves are changing color and the last fruits of the season are ripening. There’s a lot to be done before the quiet of the barren winter cold sets in, and vineyards of the Hudson Valley are among the busiest of places as the grapes ripen for picking and the winemaking process begins.

Grapes are picked when the sugar content or brix levels are between 21 to 26 degrees. The sugar content of the juice is what will be converted to alcohol during fermentation; this measurement tells the winemaker when the optimal time is to pick the grapes for harvest.

There are many metamorphoses grapes need to go through before they achieve the maturity in which they are picked. Veraison is the beginning, when the grapes begin to change color. The tannins ripen and astringent malic acid begins to give way to softer tartaric acid. Leaves are often pruned at this time to give grapes more sun and wind exposure. The warm days and cool nights are optimum conditions for the grapes to achieve maturation. Vineyards will put netting out over the grapes to protect them from being feasted upon by wildlife such as birds and deer.

Harvest begins in the valley as early as the second week in September and lasts through the first week in November.

Chardonnay, Seyval, and Pinot Noir are the grapes in the valley that ripen the earliest each year; Merlot and Cabernet Franc are the last ripening grapes to be harvested. In a typical year, har-

after pressing into a stainless steel tank to begin fermentation.

In the case of barrel-fermented Chardonnay, it is begun in the tank, then fermentation is completed in the barrel.

Grapes in the Hudson Valley are usually handpicked, then brought to the destemmer/crusher. Red wine grapes are run through the destemmer/crusher to remove the fruit from stems with minimal rupture of the grape skins.

Whites are typically destemmed and crushed with intentional rupturing of the skins. Then the white wine is pressed and the juice is pumped into steel tanks to begin

Red wine processing is different.

After destemming, the berries are not separated from the skins or seeds, but go through the process with all elements mixed together. The hearty, robust flavors of red wine come from this togetherness of the juice, seeds, and skins. The fermentation process extracts more tannins, flavors, and color from the skin and seeds.

We are so fortunate to have a wide variety of local wines available to us that carry the richness of the Hudson Valley climate and soil.

To begin the fermentation process, yeast is added to the juice. Yeast consumes sugar, which then converts into alcohol and carbon dioxide. It also liberates molecules within the juice, bringing out the flavor of the grape itself.

The grapes may be fermented in oak barrels, bins, or a stainless steel tank. Stainless steel tanks provide stable temperatures and produce crisp, clean white wines. Oak barrels contribute tannins of their own and render a fuller-bodied wine with more

complex overtones. White wines are fermented for four to six weeks at about 60ËšF, while red wines are fermented between 65 and 80Ëš for four to 14 days. After fermentation, if the wine is to be aged in oak, the juice is moved into oak barrels to begin the aging process. Whites are usually bottled in the springtime. Reds can age a few years in the barrel before bottling.

We are so fortunate to have a wide variety of local wines available to us that carry the richness of

the Hudson Valley climate and soil. While tastings are not being offered at this time, a weekend drive along the Hudson River to visit some of our fine wineries is a perfect day trip. Pick up a few bottles of local wines that you may not find anywhere else and stock up for the winter, while enjoying the colorful tapestry of fall along the way.

Meet the Owners

creekside bar by anne pyburn craig

When the Gilded Otter in New Paltz was purchased by Clemson Bros. Brewery in 2019, longtime employees Reshma Ramoutar and Juan Galvan decided it was time to paddle their

64

&

b i s t ro

p h o to s b y r a c h e l c o l l e t

own canoe. Both had started their hospitality careers at the Otter, and felt well-prepared for independence thanks to the management style of then-owner Rick Rauch.

meet the owners

“We’re here to make you, the customer, comfortable, safe, and happy. We’ll do whatever it takes to make that happen.”

–Reshma Ramoutar, co-owner

Given the choice between remaining with a larger company and striking out on their own, Reshma and Juan felt ready for the next big step. Friends and family were encouraging. The quest for the perfect spot ended one night on a pizza mission.

“We saw a ‘For Rent’ sign next to the pizza place and at that moment realized we needed to call the landlord,” says Reshma. “So we did, and the rest is history.”

visitvortex.com

“He believed in teaching his employees every aspect of the business, and was always available to answer questions, and still is,” says Reshma. “My husband Juan started working at the Otter when he was in high school as the dishwasher and did every job from maintenance to becoming the assistant general manager. I started there as a bus girl and worked my way up to manager as well.”

65

Specials are constantly evolving, with “Burger of the Day” offerings, chili wings, steak quesadillas, and passion fruit margaritas enhancing a menu that’s full of choices, from lobster rolls to pork schnitzel to falafel.

The place they had found, which had most recently housed a Japanese restaurant called Matsu, is in a small plaza on Route 32 at the east end of Rosendale’s Main Street. The long dining room extends alongside the Rondout Creek, with plenty of big windows that bring the outdoors in. It felt only natural to name it Creekside Bar & Bistro. They opened the doors in November of 2019, and immediately started magnetizing a fan base that craves their tasty classic salads, sandwiches, and steaks, enhanced with housemade sauces and a lively cocktail program.

66

That fan base has sustained them through the long weeks of pickup and delivery. “It’s been a tough year on a lot of people, so if we can provide individuals with a little bit of happiness, we consider ourselves successful,” says Reshma. “COVID-19 was a hard hit for us, but we’re still going strong; we adapted by listening. What made people comfortable? How could we help? What did people want to see or not see? We made sure we were up-to-date on facts and able to answer questions.

And as much as the pandemic changed things, it also has not.

We’re here to make you, the customer, comfortable, safe, and happy. We’ll do whatever it takes to make that happen.”

A July 5, 2020 Facebook review indicates how well they succeed in doing just that. “Friendly, professionally face-shielded wait staff,” writes the guest. “Loved the modern, but cozy barn/

warehouse decor....The frozen margarita was very nice, ‘could taste the tequila’ pleasure; and the food.. BRAVO!... A thick, tasty, perfectly medium rare burger that the old man rated ‘better than good.’ I will be back to check out the rest of the menu; which is the equivalent of at least 2 Michelin stars.”

“We love making a name for our

family,” says Reshma. “My family’s from Trinidad, and I think it

makes them happy to know I

moved here and am successful.”

“We put out great food, spectacular drinks, and memorable service.”

It may not have been the first year they imagined, but Reshma and Juan are relishing their independence all the same. “We love making a name for our family,” says Reshma. “My family’s from Trinidad, and I think it makes them happy to know I moved here and am successful. And I want our son to know what hard work looks like.

I hope he loves the hospitality industry as much as we do.”

Specials are constantly evolving, with “Burger of the Day” offerings, chili wings, steak quesadillas, and passion fruit margaritas enhancing a menu that’s full of choices, from lobster rolls to pork schnitzel to falafel. (You can find the freshest news on Facebook or Instagram.) “We put out great food, spectacular drinks, and memorable service,” Reshma says. “Our clientele—retired couples, families, young adults home for quarantine

or just to visit back where they grew up—are amazing, and we try hard to make everyone feel welcome.”

In a moment of enormous uncertainty for so many, Reshma and Juan are happy to have this opportunity and just plan to keep it going.

“Keep showing up, keep the space clean and safe, and make people happy,” says Reshma of the immediate future.

“We have our family in here, and we

would love to have your family join us.

We come to work every day with a smile and that desire to make you happy,

and we find that by being ourselves, every day’s a good day.”

meet the owner

A place to sit down with a good cup of coffee and the paper is always good news in a small town, of course, but when the owner is sourcing local, it’s cause for outright rejoicing.

Of course, it helped that he’d learned to love food and cooking at an early age. “My parents catered and my aunt had an Italian restaurant, and I remember being in the kitchen from the age of five, getting in the way, making messes,” he says. “It’s a big Italian family. Everyone cooks. My mom taught me a lot, she was gifted—they had a chocolate business too.

visitvortex.com

Cafe Mio owner Michael Bernardo is the first to admit that he’s led something of a charmed life. The Reading, Pennsylvania native came to the Hudson Valley to attend the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, met a beautiful woman from Wallkill named Amanda in a restaurant, and by the time he graduated in 2002 was working with celebrated “father of New American cuisine” John Novi at the Depuy Canal House in High Falls.

75

When I was 12 or 13, I started washing dishes at my aunt’s restaurant. Why it didn’t scare me I don’t know, the way I got hazed that first week. Thankfully, the kitchen I grew up in in the 80s and 90s isn’t the kitchen of today.”

Michael loved working with food enough to tolerate the old-school vibe where line cooks smoked 76

into the exhaust fan and harassment was just the way things were. Taking a year to work after high school, he decided he needed to take his passion to the next level. “My dad helped me decide,” he says. “I felt like, well, if I’m going to get serious now’s the time to do it. I looked at four-year programs, but I was 21 and didn’t want to wait until I was 25 to get into the professional mix, so the CIA’s

Cafe Mio’s farm-fresh breakfasts have drawn regulars from all around the region who come in for sandwiches, veggie tofu scrambles, and the classic Mio Breakfast (two eggs, bacon, roast potatoes, greens, and toast).

“I wanted to showcase the beautiful farms around here and not overcomplicate, not cover things with a 27-ingredient sauce, not a million spices. Just let the amazing ingredients taste like what they are.” –Michael Bernardo, owner 21-month culinary intensive was ideal.”

After five years at the storied Canal House (Michael and John Novi still collaborate on annual dinners for the Rondout Valley Growers Association), he went on to reopen and revive the Emerson in Mount Tremper, then to open Oriole 9 in Woodstock with Pierre-Luc Moeys. “I was definitely working with the right people at the right moments, and it’s been wonderful,” he says.

In 2009, Michael decided to spread his wings and fly solo. “I wanted to see if I could do it as the only one,” he says. “Be the one doing the books and the hiring and firing, make it all work.

Pierre-Luc was looking for a second location for Oriole 9; at first we were gonna do it together, but I told him this

was too little for two. And he had two other restaurants going. I said, hey, it’s gonna be yours even if it’s ours.…

It was time. I knew I could handle it. I cooked and washed dishes for the first two years myself.”

The central hamlet of Gardiner welcomed Cafe Mio with open arms and eager taste buds. A new place to sit down with a good cup of coffee and the paper is always good news in a small town, of course, but when the owner is sourcing local, it’s cause for outright rejoicing. Not to mention, the quality and flavors of the food— Michael can cook, and from the beginning, his focus has been to provide simple, clean, local deliciousness.

“I wanted to showcase the beautiful farms around here and not overcom77

plicate, not cover things with a 27-ingredient sauce, not a million spices. Just let the amazing ingredients taste like what they are.”

Simple, in capable hands, is far from boring, and Cafe Mio’s farmfresh breakfasts soon drew regulars from all around the region who come in for sandwiches, veggie tofu scrambles, and the classic Mio Breakfast (two eggs, bacon, roast potatoes, greens, and toast).

Shutting down in March was a shock, of course. “I have the most awesome and super-supportive customers anywhere,” Michael says. “They got us through this.”

In return, he worked long and hard creating the addition: 1,000 78

square feet of bright new dining room space. “Meadowscent Flowers—she’s my neighbor and my landlord—wanted to downsize a little, so she moved one space over and offered me the chance to double my dining area.

“We added a huge new accessible bathroom and were able to make the tables very comfortably spaced out, perfect for right now.

Everything is clean and fresh.

I did 95% of the renovation— carpentry, plumbing. I learned repairs as part of my overall on-thejob training, you know? I’m pretty handy. If I see something done I can do it and, if not, I watch YouTube.”

Customers getting a first look at the expanded Cafe Mio last July rejoiced on Facebook, delighted not just by the excellence of the breakfasts and the new roomy look but by the reunion with Michael and his crew. “Everybody came back,” says Michael happily. “People were just super happy to be there. My waitstaff is the greatest.

They know everybody’s name, and everybody missed each other.” His reopening menu, he says, is “on the simple side, just our 20 most popular things at first, but people don’t seem to mind.”

In spite of months of uncertainty,

Michael’s determined to continue living the dream: presiding over a kitchen where food and humans are handled with tender loving care, while also savoring time with Amanda, now a massage therapist, and their eight-year-old daughter and two-year-old son. “We’re homebodies,” he says. “We just chill, ride bikes, garden, do arts and crafts. I love it so much.

“It’s been a scary time for restaurants, a scary time for everyone, in fact. I feel so incredibly lucky to have been able to expand. I can feed the same number of people, so Cafe Mio should be just fine.”

Autumn has long been the busy season for Doug Shippee, owner of the Rhinebeck Artist’s Shop.

The college students return looking for fresh supplies for their classes, and the professors are looking for a place to guide them.

When it comes to college-level art studies, Doug and his knowledgeable staff know exactly what students will need.

“Our advantage is that we deal with this all the time,” he says.

“Every professor has a specific

p h o to s b y r a c h e l c o l l e t

list of supplies, and teachers get in touch with us and work out a list. Then they’ll bring everything to the first class, and the students can pay for it on the spot. It saves everybody a lot of hassle and minimizes the carbon footprint of the whole endeavor.”

Every employee in the retail department at Rhinebeck Artist’s Shop has been to art school themselves, and it shows. “I know nothing about what supplies to get and what would be best for what

“Every professor has a specific list of supplies, and teachers get in touch with us and work out a list. Then they’ll bring everything to the first class, and the students can pay for it on the spot. It saves everybody a lot of hassle and minimizes the carbon footprint”

I need them for,” writes a satisfied customer online. “I went into the store to get supplies for a class I’m taking and the woman there was phenomenal! She helped me above and beyond what I was expecting. I will definitely be coming back and I will recommend this store to everyone!”

The Rhinebeck Artist’s shop is conveniently located near two prestigious New York colleges with excellent art programs—Bard College in Rhinebeck’s neighboring town of Annandale-onHudson, and SUNY New Paltz, within walking distance of the

86

Main Street shop. The Rhinebeck location houses four floors stocked with the best paints, brushes, canvases, papers, and sketching materials that a college student budget can buy, and are regularly re-stocked and updated.

Walking through the shop is a fun trip for anyone, whether you’re an artist, a student, or just thinking about starting a new creative hobby. These days, many people are looking to fill in more down time at home. Doug, himself a working artist with an MFA in painting, has welcomed many customers who are just getting started or who are

looking to help their kids get started. “Parents come in wanting supplies for their kids and maybe themselves—everybody needs something to do, and creating is one of the best things you can do for yourself. The kids within walking distance come in on their own behalf.”

Whatever your back-to-school plan for the fall, be sure to make art a part of the picture. After all, here we are, in the luscious Hudson Valley, beside a river that inspired an entire school of art.... Wikipedia will tell you that the Hudson River School, with its romantic tendencies, was a Thing in the mid-19th century, and that creative inclination is still alive and well in the valley. Hudson River art is very much a living force. (Romantic? Well, hey.

This is easy scenery to get excited about.)

87

Whether school’s in or out, whether galleries and museums are open or closed, art— like food, like music—is in our very DNA. Doug and his team will help you figure out what you need to translate your vision into living color. And when you’re ready to display your masterpiece, or someone else’s, on the wall, they’ve got a wonderful team to frame it for you, too.

Bedding Down

t h e au t u m n g a r d e n by anne pyburn craig

visitvortex.com

As the nights grow longer and the air grows crisp, your garden trades vibrant summer color for the subtle browns and golds of autumn. It’s the rhythm of life in action, as perennials settle in for a long winter’s nap and annuals claim their place in the march of generations by going to seed. So what should you do, besides wax philosophical? There are several steps you can take that will help your garden sleep well until spring’s warmth summons it back into bloom.

93

composting

s av e t h e s e e d s

Remove annuals that are done for. Plants that are open-pollinated heirloom species, rather than genetically modified or hybrid, are offering you a last bounty of seeds to save for next year; harvest as many as you like, dry them thoroughly, and store in cool, dark, dry conditions.

Next year’s garden budget will thank you.

94

&

p ru n i n g

Compost the rest of the plant, and any perennials that are past their peak. (Ornamental grasses, black-eyed Susans, and the like take on a whole different loveliness in their winter outfits.) Keep anything diseased or insect-ridden out of the compost pile. Shredded leaves make a dandy mulch. Whole leaves tend to get matted into a solid layer that will hurt the soil, but shredded or composted ones are great. Run the mower over them a few times to chop, and add them to your compost or use them fresh to make a nice blanket for tender perennials or winter veggies; balance the carbon-rich leaves with some nitrogen-rich fertilizer.

Or just make a pile and leave it alone for one to three years. The result will be garden gold: high-calcium, high-magnesium leaf mold that holds nearly as much moisture as peat moss. When their leaves are shed, the branch structure of trees and shrubs become more visible and you can decide what needs pruning. Be mindful with shrubs such as forsythia that bloom in early spring; you don’t want to amputate too many future blooms. Get rid of dead or damaged branches, but leave the rest alone. And don’t trim boxwoods or other hedges in fall, lest you trick them into new growth that the frost will kill off.

95

plant

“Tis the season to plant daffodil, hyacinth, tulip, crocus, allium, and snowdrop bulbs, as well as trees and shrubs.

Plant several weeks before the hard frost hits; you want the little darlings to be able to develop root systems.

If you’re hankering for a last blast of vibrant color right here and now, add some mums, asters, or pansies, either in containers or straight into the ground; if the latter, be warned: they need to be pinched back and tended to or they’ll sprawl all over on you next season.

96

p ro t e c t

Add a layer of mulch to protect root systems and conserve moisture. Put a layer of tree wrap around young trunks—they’re especially vulnerable to cracking and splitting during rapid temperature changes.

plan

Avid gardeners know that this is the time of year to start considering next year’s possibilities. Arm yourself with garden books from the great designers, seed catalogues, and internet resources, and sit down with note-taking tools; savor a beverage of choice and let your fantasies run wild. Before you know it, it’ll be time to get ready.

Prepping for winter is a gradual process. Nibble away at these tasks as the opportunity arises.

Hire a professional if you need to, or a nearby teenager for some of it. But do get it done—your house will thank you, and you’ll enjoy a happier season.

leaf lore

Wait until all of the leaves have fallen and dried before raking. They’ll wait. But you do want to rake leaves from areas of grassy lawn and other plantings to prevent smothering. Get the right tools, including a sturdy pair of gloves, a lightweight tarp, and a wide “no clog” rake.

Rake in the direction the wind’s blowing.

Rake leaves into rows, and then each row into a pile atop your tarp, which can then be dragged to your central pile. Finally, rake your whole pile onto the tarp or bag ‘em up so the first breeze doesn’t undo your hard work.

Pile your leaves out of the way, top with nitrogen-rich grass clippings or vegetable waste, and turn once a month to compost.

wo o d w i s d o m

Make sure you have enough firewood for the winter, nicely stacked.

Pick a spot at least 5 feet from your exterior wall (30 feet if you live in a wildfire area, which these mountains are some years) and lay down a couple of long two-by-fours or old pallets as a base. Firewood stacked on the ground is more likely to be damp, rotten and bug-infested, and you’ll be bringing this stuff into your house.

logs, each layer laid perpendicular to the last, will hold your wood securely in its pile. Stack loosely, with the cut ends exposed.

Orient your woodpile so that prevailing winds will blow through the stack and not against it. Airflow is key; you want your wood to continue to “season” nicely. A tower at each end made of about six layers of split

Make sure you’ve got a fireproof floor surface around and in front of your fireplace or stove, and a decent set of tools: poker, tongs, fireplace shovel, and whisk broom.

A lean-to, woodshed, or even a sheet of tin over the stack can keep the worst of the rain off; failing that, have a spot near your stove or fireplace where you can put enough wood to dry out on rainy days.

Happy hibernating!
