It's Christmas on West Main Street!
Christmas lights in the windows at Morgan's ......
.................. and Christmas Everything right across the street! Pretty!
Those were the first pictures that I took yesterday afternoon, and - it turned out - they were the only ones. I drove up and down and all around the village and surrounding countryside without seeing anything else that really appealed to me and my camera.
I found this picture in my mail - sent to me by Dave Hitchcock from Oriskany Falls. He had taken it from in front of George and Connie Kelley's home on Sanger Hill Road just as the tree that had fallen was being removed. He wrote:
"The tree is hanging on the wires - it was a pretty tough job getting it off without breaking any more poles! Town of Sangerfield brought their big front end loader to support it while they sawed part of it up."
(Thank you, Dave!)
I also noticed that the fir tree that had fallen in St. Bernard's Cemetery has already been cut up and removed.

It's obvious from these pictures that there's no snow on the ground, now, but I wondered what the weather had been like on November 21st in the past several years.

And going much farther back - fifty years and a day, to be exact - here is a question for "older" blog readers:
"Do you remember where you were when you learned that President Kennedy had been killed?"

"I was in Brookfield Central School, waiting for my French III teacher to arrive and begin class. As he came into the classroom, he was obviously upset and tense as he made the announcement that the President had been shot. At that time, we thought there might still be a chance that President Kennedy was alive. We spent the rest of the class period discussing politics and history, not French.

"I was in Waterville Central School, in a study hall classroom. I think it came over the loud speakers that President Kennedy had just been shot.. Everyone in the classroom was in shock.

We were living in Topeka, Kansas, where Dick was attached to the B-47 wing at Forbes Air Force Base. That afternoon, a folk-singing friend and newspaper photographer named Bill Snead had stopped by for coffee and to take pictures of our daughter, Allison, who was three months old at the time. He had been cruising around the city, as newspaper photographers did, just waiting for something newsworthy to happen. It was a quiet afternoon. Plenty of time for coffee.
He had brought his camera into the house with him but, at some point he decided to get a different lens from his car. He had left the VW "beetle" running and the newspaper radio was on. "Snead! Where ARE you?!" That's when he heard. He dashed back into the house, gasped the news to me, grabbed his camera and left.
He took several hundred more photographs that day and it wasn't until much later, when he worked for the Washington Post and had been named "White House Photographer of the Year," that he sent us the picture of Allison - an enormous print that hangs in her home, now, and is made special because "that was taken by Bill Snead the day ....... "

More when it happens!
Have a great day everyone!
