"What is a Yarn Swap? A yarn swap is a big eco-friendly redistribution of yarn, needles and other knitting supplies. Bring in the crafty stuff you never want to see again and deposit it in one of our baskets. Poke around at all the other donations and take home whatever you like. It's OK If you don't have any yarn to bring, you can still take whatever you like."

HERE AND THERE
Sunday afternoon on West Main Street.
At the Tanners' home on Route 20.
On Wild Grapevines, everywhere!
(But wait for the first frost, before you pick them, for the best flavor!)
There are lots and lots of "wild grape jam" and "wild grape jelly" recipes, online, starting with those on "Cooks.com."
*********
It's "Indian Corn" season, too!
The perennial question is, "What makes the kernels different colors?"
Here's one answer - from Scimix.com: "When we talk Indian corn, we talk harvest and decoration. But have you ever wonder why rows of mixed colors appear on the same ear of the ornamental Indian corn and simply defy genetics? The explanation of this phenomenon earned Dr. Barbara McClintock the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1983.
Two words: ‘jumping genes’, technically called transposons. These genes move from one place to another within the genetic material of Indian corn. When the transposon moves into the pigment gene, it stops pigments production and the Indian corn kernels appears white. When the transposon moves out, pigment is produced again. So, this in and out of transposons determines the colors of the Indian corn mosaic."

FOR THE RECORD
On Buell Avenue, the Wesslings' back yard in April .........
..................... and on Saturday!
Click to enlarge and you'll see where the main channel runs, and where all the water used to be, right at the foot of the hillside!
Out of view - a great many large chunks of rock - "riprap" - that will be set in place to (hopefully) keep any more ground from washing out in future floods.
