I think this is elderberry

 

One stop that I had to make was to try to find my great great great grandparents on the mothers side and I knew they were from Canajohnarie, NY and the name of the cemetery. As it turned out, it was huge and I thought I had no hope at all but I did and I was very lucky as most of the tombstones can't be read at all they are so old.

When I was talking to the curator below, he told me Canajohnarie was pronouned Can a ja harry.

 

Garlock was the family name

Driving through New York I saw a sign that said Ft Johnson so I stopped and spent about an hour taking to the curator. It was so interesting. The Johnson's built the Fort/House before the Revolutionary War but they sided with the English and fled to Canada. The house has these huge fireplaces in them and you would think it would have been warm but huge fireplaces just sucked the heat right up the chimney and one letter they found, the guest complained he couldnt finish writing because the ink froze in the well.

 

The Privy was across the yard from the Fort. Nice winter walk

 

 

 

This bedspread was one of two displayed in Ft Johnson. I don't know how this lady did it and it's amazing.

 

 

We had fresh lettuce for our salad every day. It was sooooo good

Weather was wonderful, but Evan put one foot in the water and decided he didn't like it.

 

My poor granddaughter-in-law hates snakes and spiders and bugs and this guy met us at the door. Neighbor said it was a corn snake, I thought it was a milk snake. If anyone knows, would you let me know

 

I don't understand why the roof sticks out so far. Could be something about the ice and snow in the winter?
