Wednesday Wrap

The blogger is only one of MANY who, on days like this when nothing new happens, get bored! We've become so used to the entertainment provided by TIOGA et al that we may even suffer from some sort of "withdrawal" when they all leave! (Surely someone is saying "Get a life!!!")

As of mid-afternoon, no new trees had sprung up on Main Street. Perhaps they're being dug, today, and will arrive tomorrow?

I believe that the low evergreens that have been planted at the point of Monument Park and along the tops of the retaining walls in Sangerfield are a variety of spreading juniper -Juniperus horizontalis - called ‘Bar Harbor’ that will spread to form an evergreen carpet with a purplish tinge in the winter.



Along with the Wednesday "regulars," having tuna sandwiches or French Dip or Lasagna at Michael's, today, the Clergy of the community were enjoying their monthly get-together at one large table and, at another, David Beurle, Mr. Robert Harding, Tom Morgan, Patty Ford, Tom Eisenhut, Roc Langone and Judy Owens-Manley continued the conversations started by the Convention for the Future which was held this past May in Waterville. Mr. Harding wrote to the blogger to say that the gathering wasn't a merchants' or business association or formal meeting - "just a group of people talking about how to keep the spirit of growth and opportunity alive." Mr. Buerle, the internationally-known Convention Speaker, was in the area holding Community Conventions in the Mohawk Valley, Kuyahoora Valley and Dolgeville as well as addressing the Herkimer County Conference of Mayors. "His focus was to remind those present that momentum builds from successful projects that showcase what can be done cooperatively and that the Waterville area is on the right track!"
