A Hudson Valley fire department is inviting the community to come by the firehouse and play under the hose. Summertime can get oppressive in the Hudson Valley. The heat and humidity can make it hard to even go outside to get the mail. And if you don't have air conditioning, it's almost impossible to find any relief from the brutal conditions.

As we begin the summer season, nothing is more appealing than the prospect of a nice scoop of local ice cream on warm, sunny afternoons. A city dweller myself, I can confidently proclaim that the Hudson Valley is home to some of the finest ice-cream shops in the state. With such a wide selection, it’s difficult to pinpoint the perfect location for the whole family. Here is a short list of five of my favorites in Ulster and Dutchess counties that you’d be missing out on not to try.

I love to see our dog happy. A number of things such as dinner, car rides and swimming make our Mondo one excited Chesapeake Bay Retriever. Maybe one of his favorite things is going on a hike and giving his athletic 100 pound body a good workout. I never gave any thought to what happens if he gets injured. Do I carry him? What do i do?

Hiking can be, and should be, an adventure. However, most don't want it to be a dangerous activity. Deadly snakes can add some anxiety for the every day hiker. In the New York, certain venomous snake sightings are on the rare side, maybe until this year. According to an article...

David Krause didn’t intend to relocate to the country.
