Fall foliage in the Finger Lakes
Fall Foliage in the Finger Lakes
All the rain earlier this summer is producing amazing fall foliage in the Finger Lakes Region. This weekend (week of Oct 14-20), the Finger Lakes region should see its first appearances of peak foliage.
Cayuga County foliage spotters predict up to 90 percent color change in some areas by weekend, with bright gold, red and yellow leaves predominating. Estimations of color change submitted by observers range from 50-80 percent, with red and orange leaves are really starting to show on maples, sugar maples and oak trees. Russet-colored leaves are taking hold on White Ash trees, and trees such as the Poplars, Locusts, Hickories, Ginkgo and others are showing subdued yellow coloration. For more information, visit the Foliage Report.
It’s an amazing time of year! Come stay with us and enjoy the local Autumn festivities.

If you’re like me, you love shopping — and, most of all, you love shopping for antiques. Most of the rooms in the Hummingbird’s Home BnB are decorated with treasures I’ve found locally.
The history of the life in the Finger Lakes goes back many years. As a result the region is quite rich in antiques and collectibles from long ago. Many of the roads in the Finger Lakes are dotted with antique stores and collectibles shops.

It’s a great way to spend the afternoon. But, take it from me, make sure you save some extra room in your trunk!
