I’ve been seeing ads for the Country Store in Shaftsbury and today seemed a good time to try it since we wanted to get a harness for Jett at PetCo in Bennington.

The store reminds me a little of the West Barnstable General Store but with only modest selections of sandwiches, a few cookies and limited refrigerated and shelf-stable groceries. From the number of customers that came in before and after us, I’d guess they’ll be adding to their repertoire before too long.

Jett was close to excellent in the car and very excellent at Petco.

Later in the day I redeemed my blood donor gift card at Carr’s for seeds and plant spray so Ron could finish treating the climbing rose (he did).

I think the harness we got for Jeff is mismarked: too small. We will exchange it.

Millie jumped the fence and caused a ruckus next door. Alyssa hauled her back.

This evening we attended a splendid concert, first night of the Williams Spring Jazz Nights. Three superb sets. We especially appreciated the progress made by a couple of students we saw and heard last year.
