Hudson, NY

For our wedding anniversary, Mr. Spice and I drove to New York state for a weekend break. Being bibliophiles we headed to the used book store on the tourist map right away, and breathed deeply of the bookish fragrance inside.

If it hadn’t been raining, we would have taken advantage of this lovely outdoor area behind the shop. I was amazed to discover a memoir by Mary Higgins Clark- thanks, Rodgers Book Barn!

Once in Hudson, we perused antique shops, indulged at the chocolate bar (Verdigris Tea Café & Bakery), ate truck food and restaurant food, and picked up a tremendous poetry magazine, Ruminate.

It’s easy to take unusual photos when props like this one are plentiful!
