We were given access to offices on the first floor and a gorgeous conference room on the second floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Volunteers from North Adams served burgers and hot dogs that were provided by the Station. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We got to see our friend Andi and her husband who is an Assistant Chief.  It was a lovely, friendly crowd that evidently included people from Boston and other fire departments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Afterwards we went to the Library for a multi-cultural fair with exhibits from a number of countries, community groups, Mount Greylock High School clubs and samples of Italian cookies.  The library has a full seed catalog.  I brought home Borage and Black Zucchini seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Continued our travels with a grocery shop.  Although we&#8217;d done a big shop earlier this week, it seems we can never remember everything we need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, we got soft serve at a new cafe\/bakery occupying the old West End Market on West Main Street in North Adams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Back home I planted flowers from the nursery in Bennington along with portulaca from Aubuchon in the new container. Also planted the six pack of cukes from Aubuchon in one of the raised beds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I found the web page with the .bat script that I&#8217;d deleted yesterday.  Back to it tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It had rained last night and was drizzly and on the cool side (50&#8217;s) today.
