An unwanted reflection selfie of the refrigerated case at the shop shed. You can see milk, buttermilk, chocolate milk, roll butter, tubs of butter, yogurt, ice cream, meat, cheeses, and sauerkrauts.

Taken from the back porch of La Maison Blanche in Norwich. I get the same view as my seat, but I was getting reflections in the window when I tried taking pics.

First stop was at Kriemhild Creamery and their little unstaffed mini-shop in a wooden shed. You pay on the honor system. Kriemhild makes and sells butters, milks, and creams, but the store sells dairy (cheese, ice cream) and non-dairy products from other farms and producers.

The roadside signs for Pires. Not a lot of produce this late in the season, but they did have everything on the signs. Also have salt potatoes, riggie sauce, and spiedie sauce among other area delicacies.

Pires Farmer's Market in Norwich, which just closed up for the season.
Part local produce market and part area products, Pires is not in the same league as Weaver's, but it is right here in Norwich.

This is how you know you're in Central New York: Bags of Salt Potatoes. (Yes, there is a big salt packet included in the bag to boil the potatoes with.)

I will not fail to swing by Weaver's anytime I am driving through to or from Oneonta. Bulk goods in plastic goods or tubs, baking supplies, local baked goods, specialty products, an amazing deli, lots of local and Amish/Mennonite meats and dairy, and a good produce section.

And here's a Macon Whoopee jersey. After the Whoopee folded, they were replaced by a team with a railroad-themed jersey and logo called the Macon Trax.

Here's some more from the Shawn Braley exhibit. Top picture is Bee FFs and the bottom picture is Frown. I bought some postcard prints. And the artist is actually here on Bluesky. @shawnbraley.bsky.social

There was yet another temporary exhibit when I went to the Fenimore. Wild Smiles: The Art of Shawn Braley. Shawn mostly does works with anthropomorphic animals.

The other main special exhibit was Romare Bearden: Artist, Activist, Visionary. I saw this exhibit with a guided interpretation from a docent. Staff at @fenimoreartmuseum.bsky.social give good tours.

This actually wasn't part of the exhibit, as it was in the children's activity room, but it's a very evocative scene.

From the exhibit. I'm pretty sure I'd seen every framed strip in the exhibit in one book collection or another over the years. The only strips that were new to me were the ones from his initial submission to the syndicate, with a different design for Calvin
