Welcome to my blog.
I want to share some of the adventures I experience in my life as a small-town writer living on the northern edge of New York State in the Adirondack North Country. Here’s a look at what’s it’s like to be here, now, at this age. Expect a mix of conversation, observation and exclamation. Check in each week — and please spread the word – Connie Jenkins, Adirondack North Country Blogger-
