The caption read:
"A new business, The Wild Fern, will be opening soon in Stockbridge as the town recovers from Tropical Storm Irene now a full year later." EMILY McMANAMY, Free Press
Perhaps The Wild Fern can bring together our Community. Maybe it can become the town's heart center? Maybe it will be a meeting place? A gathering for the community, a place to meet friends, farmers, neighbors, musicans, artists, jesters?? Jesters would be fun. What town has jesters they call their own? Throw in a few clowns & we will be bound for interesting & wild times!
All in all, I think we've done pretty good for a year's time. Nearby towns, Pittsfield & Rochester both celebrated a townwide party & came together as proud Vermonters standing strong & together. It's a really beautiful thing.
I wondered, as probably many others, why our town wasn't doing the same thing? Or something similar?
When I saw the few cars at the Stockbridge Town Hall on Sunday I wondered what was going on. About 3 hours later I heard the Govenor was there. I guess it had been in the paper, but there wasn't "talk" of it within our Community that I heard. & neither was a Celebration planned around it. I"m not sure how that made others feel, but I felt confused & a little sad.
Perhaps,in good time, we'll come together more often in Stockbridge.
The sign frame gets some fresh old scrap black paint!
Have you seen it yet?
