WATERBURY — Gilbert/Northwestern/Housatonic co-op football fell 42-7 against Holy Cross High School Thursday, Nov. 14.

It was a chilly night at Municipal Stadium Nov. 14. The digital thermostat read 35-degrees at kick off, persuading fans to bundle up with blankets in the bleachers.

The Crusaders advanced to 6-3 this season with one game remaining before playoffs begin. GNH, plagued by injuries on both sides of the ball, moved to 2-7 this season.

GNH will host St. Paul Catholic High School for the final game of the year Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 28. The Turkey Bowl will kick off at 10 a.m. on Gilbert’s Van Why Field.

After moving to West Cornwall in 2012, we were given a thoughtful housewarming gift: the 1997 edition of “Dirr’s Hardy Trees and Shrubs.” We were told the encyclopedic volume was the definitive gardener’s reference guide — a fact I already knew, having purchased one several months earlier at the recommendation of a gardener I admire.

At the time, we were in the thick of winter invasive removal, and I enjoyed reading and dreaming about the trees and shrubs I could plant to fill in the bare spots where the bittersweet, barberry, multiflora rose and other invasive plants had been.Years later, I purchased the 2011 edition, updated and inclusive of plants for warm climates.
