Google some spring peeper or frog videos or photos of little critters enjoying this time of year and vernal pools. I have found tiny frogs on my car, on trees and of course on the ground. One toad was ready to hop in my house, staying on the slate patio.Some can be found on White Memorial Conservation Center in Litchfield CT.

Or see some books in the library and collect a few to have around the house for inspiration when it's hard to get outdoors, even a calendar can be a reminder of the great garden we share in nature.

What are the odds I would get settled into wanting to make a post (and needing some inspiration0 and then getting an impromptu tour by the designer of the giraffes at the Bushnell Sage Library in Sheffield?

It doesn't hurt that I happened to find a chance to talk with Grace Eastwood (for short) in the past week, and I had heard from a friend she had something to do with the installation of the three of the 9, 14. and 18- foot- tall giraffes, respectively named  Prince Edward, Newfy and Afri (short for  Prince Edward Island, New Foundland, and Africa sounds like Afree) in the children's wing

I discovered your site www.theberkshireedge.com by going to the festive Business Expo held at Berkshire South and signing up. Thanks for an array of interesting and compassionate coverage of the events and people in the area. The more the MA/NY CT tri-corner area towns can support each other, the greater the chance people will stay and even move into the area. Sadly, we also need to learn from the challenges we face in terms of the changing demographics.
