think. A magnificent view of the valley from the "Garden Front".
There was a beautiful little spot near the house - a chestnut tree - a
little bridge and a wooded gully - that I wanted to get a picture of
but it was too gray for a snapshot and I had no tripod. I did take a view
(in very poor light) of the Austin Wadsworth house &
formal gardens at the other end of the village. The gates and sweep of the
stonewall are also very picturesque here and a border of exquisitely
colored trees & shrubs surrounds a sloping meadow - from which the
magnificence of the valley is seen below. The coloring of the
foliage seemed marvellously fine this day and I can't imagine any view
more simply beautiful that the lovely valley with the river winding
through it and the grand old trees - so gorgeously colored - dotting the
fertile field - and this is what one looks upon from nearly every
house in the village for the main street runs along the brow of the hill.
We were going to dinner at the famous old "Big Tree Inn", but
their dinner was half an hour too late - so we went to the
Wallace house - which is another old Colonial mansion -
and had a very good dinner in company with a lot of men - farmers
& travelers - a reporter from Rochester
and Fred Noyes & wife and family from
Dansville. Directly after dinner we mounted our
wheels and went down the long lane into the valley and
think. A magnificent view of the valley from the "Garden Front".
