There is a new editor over at the paper, whom I just "met" via telephone this week. He seems like a really nice guy. He called me today to explain something to me and I am afraid he must have thought I was a bit of an obliviot when I returned his call, because I didn't quite get what he was talking about. As regular readers know, today is my day to ferry Becky over to SUNY Cobleskill and sit in the parking lot for a couple of hours drinking orange juice, reading exciting books uninterrupted, (a Kathy Reichs Bones book today) and talking pictures if something wonderful comes along. (As it often does, since that campus is more like a park, than, well, a park.) It's a tough job but someone has to do it. The day's newspapers are usually on my reading list
However, today for some reason we got an extra copy of Thursday's paper instead of today's so I didn't see the Farm Side. So I didn't know quite what my new boss meant when he talked about "Diary" being spelled wrong. However, as soon as I was off the phone I ran and got the Recorder and saw what he was referring to. He put the address of Northview Diary in the little blurb at the bottom of the Farm Side about me being a regular columnist and all. And although the web address was correct, the title was Northview Dairy...which makes perfect sense after all.
That is so cool! I am just delighted. Thank you, thank you! Most of my friends, who stop by to read ND, come from west of the Mississippi or south of the Mason Dixon line. Maybe local folks will visit now. I can only hope.

Neat!
That does make perfect sense - wasn't your blog listed in the paper before?
I remember some of your parking lot bird photos from earlier this year.
Being in the city I have to work a bit to see lots of birds. We're having our first wave of true winter weather here in MI...time to start putting out the birdseed!
Hi carina, I wrote about it in the paper a while ago, but normally they are two separate enterprises.
I am feeding on and off. I haven't covered my garden pond yet and I hate to have it get full of seed hulls. Going to put suet out today though if I can get tall boy to get my feeder down.
Dear Marianne:
When you first started your blog, and I was giving the address to all who seemed at all interested, I kept saying Northview Dairy. Joanne kept telling me she couldn't get there from my directions. Finally, since she is so much more sharpsighted than I, she said, Alice Louise, it is Northview Diary, not Northview Dairy!
My red face apologized and now I copy and paste addresses. Wait.. you are getting older too!
Love
Mom
Hi Mom, Northview Diary isn't a very original name for a blog about Northview Dairy farm, but it was the best I could do. I am awfully glad Gordie and Marie named the Farm Side, because I couldn't have come up with anything that clever by myself....and thanks for the reminder. I was hoping that I wasn't getting older, but it looks as if I must be. lol
