Thursday afternoon

Stripes EVERYWHERE! More white paint on Main Street than we've ever seen before. (Actually, it's not paint, but adhesive-backed cutouts, I'm told, however the effect is the same.)



There are new "STOP" lines and plenty of arrows, but the best thing that we've spotted, so far, is.....



a pedestrian Crosswalk on West Main Street from "Stinkers" to the Medical Center. It isn't handicap accessible (nor should one infer that the location indicates a precise need!) but it is at least a place where we - and any chickens who want to - can cross the highway legally.



This morning landscapers arrived at the Library to plant the circle, install more turf and plant grass seed.



The weather may be gray, but decorations on more and more houses - like this one on Berrill Avenue -- brighten the village as much as Mary Whalley and Mother Nature touch up the countryside.
