Here is the interior of the house where I helped get out the drywall that was flooded. The house was a straight rectangle with the interior walls added and moved over time. The house also got a little longer as sections were added. | =0= |

On the way back to Albany we stopped by the Unitarian church and were able to take a short tour. In early May there was an opportunity to visit the Patroon Farm which is run by the Regional Food Bank. We were transplanting little onions grown from seeds (they planted 60,000 altogether though we transplanted only the first bunch). They were in trays with little 1/2 by 1/2 pots, about two inches deep. The onions were toothpick size. Very tiny. There were lots of pictures from the group on Meetup. | =0= |

The field had been prepared with furrows of raised earth covered with biodegradable black plastic (very thin) and then used their tractor and and trailer to pierce the plastic, make a small whole (for the onion) and water it with water and fish fertilizer. I made a short videos of them positioning the tractor and prepping the furrows, while we transplanted onions. I had driven out with a friend from swing dance class, Erin, shown below. | =0= |
