It’s funny how you take things in your own Backyard for granted….. I’ve never once thought about visiting this place, but the thought of moving to another state has really made me look around.And this past Saturday we took a ride.. just down the road from us, really..30 min. away. to..Sonnenberg Mansion and Gardens. it sits high on a hill overlooking one of out finger lakes.
there was a craft show going on , with food and music, so i thought i could get my Hubby to go.ill going to start with the out side of the mansion.
here’s the story of some might rich folksthe green housethis is what we saw as we entered the some 200 acre estatestone and gardens at every turn
you just knew there had to be an Italian rose gardensetting up for a wedding receptionwell, He doesn’t like to be on my photos but he was always in my way…still being restored, so it was locked upwe circled around a few times, with our even knowing it, there was so many paths to take
the Carriage House,i tried so hard to get his image in the puddlesI gave up counting how many fountains there weresomewhere in their own forest?ill leave with this one, inside the mansion, you can see from one of the upstairs verandas,that blue against the sky..is the lake. must have been something to see back then, because it was a sight to look at while i was there. thanks for stopping by. ill be back with the inside of the mansion a bit later. as soon as I figure out why I’m having so much trouble getting on here …all of a sudden:(
What a fab place to visit, your pics are a feast for the eyes! 🙂 And good that you sneaked a couple of Dave, say hi from us. Love that fountain, very ornate.

I can’t wait to show you the inside;)!
