It's still gray and chilly, but that's not stopping them ..............
vendors are unpacking truck- and trailer-loads of treasures......
......... and there's something for everyone!
Early-birds were out soon after 9:00 .........
............ and heading for Food by 10:00!
The main field was filling up and I was tempted, but it's a dangerous place for me to be, so I headed for home.
I checked out a few back roads on the way. Ditches are filled with their own sorts of treasures, too, this time of the year.
Red lobelia on one road; blue lobelia on another ........
........... making a bouquet with purple Spotted Knapweed and white Queen Anne's Lace.

Back in Waterville .........
....... Bill Vetter's house-painting crew is now at the Petrie residence on White Street.

The S. Babbott Avenue gate was open, this morning - passersby could peek into the secret garden.

Where in the World is Rick Anderson?
On Wednesday afternoon he was in Waterville - just taking a break, "seeing America!"
How much has he seen? Well, he left Los Angeles two-and a-half months ago and he's been peddling about 80 miles a day. A 42-year-old television technician whose job in California had been automated, he's heading for New York City to find a similar position where the work is still done by real people. Why bike? "I like it! I've already done all of India and Southeast Asia - why not America, too?"
Of course: Why not!
