Around the Neighborhood - Summit - 5 March 2026

Almost 50 degrees last weekend so barbequed burgers, tasted so good. It looks like March is bringing us warmer weather.

It’s funny that the Purple Headed Finch is quite red; I don’t see any purple.

Thank you to Dave Ullman, of Summit, for taking drone photos of Charlotteville and Summit. Photo is of Charlotteville four corners. I had never seen how drone photos work.

History

March 7, 1918 Cobleskill Index - Mrs. Everett Dibble of Cobleskill and her aunt, Mrs. Maria Colliton, of this village were returning from Charlotteville and when opposite the residence of Chas. Clark on upper High street the sleigh skidded and the ladies fell out, Mrs. Dibble landing on Mrs. Colliton's prostrate form, the latter suffering a badly bruised hip. Dr. Wharton is attending her and she is much improved. – Phoenix
