Heritage Grand East Bank Looking Downstream

 

 

Villagers all, this frosty tide,
Let your doors swing open wide,
Though wind may follow, and snow beside,
Yet draw us in by your fire to bide;
     Joy shall be yours in the morning!

Here we stand in the cold and the sleet,
Blowing fingers and stamping feet,
Come from far away you to greet ~
You by the fire and we in the street ~
      Bidding you joy in the morning!

~ The field-mice at Mole End "singing one of the old-time carols that their fore-fathers composed in fields that were fallow and held by frost..." THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS, Kenneth Grahame, Methuen & Co. Ltd. London. 1908.

The Reality ~

 

Construction on the new bridge came to an abrupt stop last fall when members of the Haudenosaunee Development Institute - representing the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council - claimed they had not been consulted.
