I’m in an upstate New York state of mind

October 22, 2015 by Beth Shepherd

I just returned from a a long weekend near Syracuse, New York, where I grew up. There is no better time to visit than in autumn, when the leaves show off their magnificence.

Upstate New York in the middle of October.

You can’t get more beautiful than that.

Some might fend off a mid-life crisis by leaving the comforts of their corporate salary to jet off to a deserted island. Others might buy a Jaguar. I’ve chosen to dive head-long into my 50s and beyond by becoming a first-time parent. At any given moment you might find me holding a camera, a spade, a spatula or a suitcase. Or my little girl's hand. Adopted from Armenia, she puts the Pampers and Paklava into my life.
