Old habits die hard.
Sixty years after its founding, many Westporters still call Earthplace “the Nature Center.” (It had another name before that: the Mid-Fairfield County Youth Museum.)
But there’s something (relatively) new at the 62-acre property near the Norwalk border. The Lillian Wadsworth Arboretum is a 12-acre gem, filled with old trees, hiking trails, flowers and more.
The arboretum is town-designated open space, managed by tree warden Bruce Lindsay and the Westport Tree Board. While adjacent to Earthplace, ir is a separate entity. It’s funded largely by grants, donations, and some support from the town budget.
Rich Stein, Tom Ryan, Chip Stephens, Sharon Paulsen, Wendy Cusick, Walker Stollenwerck and Darcy Sledge all identified the spot, from the few small rocks and vegetation shown in Miggs Burroughs’ photo.
They know and love the Wadsworth Arboretum. You should too! (Click here for last week’s Photo Challenge image. Click here for an “06880” story about the land.)

Library coffee shop… that utilitizes an old card catalog drawer
The label is on a drawer from an old library card catalog cabinet so I think it’s safe to say it’s in the library café.
Was this at the library sweet shop counter? Nina Streitfeld

Is there a drawer for Stevia as well??
Of course it’s the library cafe. That was an easy one!
Probably not all that easy for people unfamiliar with card catalogs in Library’s

Over twenty respondents gave the same answer! I’ve never seen such uninimity amongst a group of such diverse people! This post should be shared with all those in Congress! Why can’t we see such harmony in Washington? Once again Westporters are a shining example to the rest of the country!
