Hello Gorgeous Friends, There are many things that are confusing. I do not feel the need to list them. It is a multiple choice quiz each of us would ace. However,I want to speak about the thing that is not confusing:Community. I am a relatively new arrival to The Berkshires,so it has taken me some time to find my community. Last year in June,Pride Month,I participated in 2 fabulous Markets in real life. Berkshire Pride at Pittsfield Common (in the rain) North Adams Pride (in
