The village seemed vey quiet, yesterday ........


........ as if everyone had left town ......

but a goodly crowd was at "Hap's," having breakfast.


One, however, headed Northward, noticing yet another bit of ornamental ironwork on Berrill Avenue ...


before taking pictures on Fuess-Cleary Road ...


and on Route 12B, North of Deansboro.

********

Others stayed inside to watch the

Australian Open Tennis Championships

on ESPN.

The ornate woodwork and elegant wall sconces seem part of the original decor at the Red Lion Pub ......


........ but the stained glass panel of King George Slaying the Dragon is Mr. Hudson's own creation.

Aha! We keep watching as improvements have progressed at this house on Osborn Avenue, but havn't known who was responsible. Yesterday one of them re-introduced himself to me: it was Phil Sweeney, of White Street, who - along with his brother - has been completely refurbishing the four-unit apartment building. Two units are already occupied. We'll go on a tour when the other two are finished!

(I'll start digging out, today!)
