Wednesday

It's 58 degrees.

Recyclables!

and Farmer's Market Day, too!

(I think it will still start at 1:00, and I do know that it will be in the Park.)

There was a lovely gathering in the Garden at the Waterville Public Library, yesterday afternoon. Members of the Library Board and Director Jeff Reynolds had arranged a small reception - and absolutely beautiful weather! - to meet the smiling, white-haired lady from New Hartford whose generosity and love for her late husband have given this community that unusually beautiful spot.

"Betty" Lally, Library Director Jeff Reynolds and Board Member Nicki Suba.

Board President Steve Keating presented Mrs. Lally with a photograph album of some pictures I'd taken in the garden over the past year and Board Member Attorney Mark Barnes presented Mrs. Lally with a plaque naming the garden the Howard H. Lally Community Garden and two small, metal signs that were placed in the garden.

After lemonade and treats under the pergola, Mrs. Lally posed with the Board.

On Main Street, the new "Subway" sign had been hung.

The Mill looks the same as it did day-before-yesterday: the crunched up remains of the frame portion are being shuffled into a pile close to the side driveway to C&H Plastics where a huge truck awaits.

On Hanover Road, not far from town, I spotted first this Vegetable Stand .........

............. and then this car and driver! I don't know the gentleman's name, but (over the noise of the engine) I think he said, "Oh, I'm just having fun!)


Perhaps he's a descendant of George Snell, who invented this automobile, here in Waterville, around 1900. It ran at 15 m.p.h., and was considered too fast for village roads!
