A Blueberry Deferred

trumansburg, ny-- Karen and I agreed to meet in the village of Trumansburg (midway between Ithaca and Caywood Station) after work on Thursday and from there proceed to blueberry picking.

I spent some time in the Philomathic Library perusing the latest issue of Bon Appetit while waiting to meet up. It's really a great library for such a small community.


In case you didn't know what "philomathic" means.



While we were admiring the clematis climbing up the sign at the village offices, we felt two raindrops. These were interpreted as a sign that blueberries should be deferred in favor of beer drinking.






(Blurry? Picture snapped after drinking.)

Other nice things about Tburg-- sidewalk haiku near the stream's gorge...





Pretty railing perfectly matches wildflower...



Local sentiment about planning issues. However, this statement does not represent the view of Caywood Days. Not sure where Barney stands on the issue, either. His people couldn't be reached for comment.



You can put your old glasses here. Really.



... and that's a taste of Tburg. As our closest metropolitan center, you will surely be seeing more of it here on Caywood Days.
