Paltry Pine Plains

So today my friend Erika (the usual suspect) and I decided to revisit the town of Pine Plains, about 20 miles east of Bard.  We'd been there once before, on a whim, and, arriving after 5 on a Saturday evening, found it to be rather deserted.  But it looked like a sort of cute town, so we were wondering if it would be more lively during regular business hours.  To investigate, we headed over there this morning.  As it turns out, this tiny town centered around a four-way stop is no livelier on Monday at mid-morning than it was that long-ago Saturday evening.  Most of the businesses were closed and dark, and there was almost no one else on the street, or anywhere in sight.  We did, however, happen upon a labyrinth that was free and open to the public in the back yard of one of the town's churches, so Pine Plains wasn't a total wash!

This antique shop claimed to be open, but it looked suspiciously closed and deserted...
I liked the headless statue.

The labyrinth!!

This was part of the display for the town's physical therapy office...
