Thursday

It's Garbage Day!

21 degrees and

"there's Good News and there's Bad News."

Let's do the good news first:

Yesterday was fantastic! The DPW was out early, putting "temporary fillings" in some potholes and scraping up some of the worst sand/dirt along curbings.

More and more Canada Geese were resting on ponds next to Sally Road ......

....... and Madison Street.

Afternoon sun shone on the little "Winter Aconite" in front of the Fehlner-Peach residence in "Dicksville."

After school, bikes and scooters came out ..........

........... and jackets came off!

On Madison Street, Mrs. Manion and her neighbor, Mrs. Lloyd, have hung Spring wreaths on their front doors .......

..... and, in Stockwell, Tom and Sharon Stiles' maple trees are hung with sap buckets!

There's a note in my morning E-mail that says: " Congratulations to Micaela LoConte and Katie Brown, two Waterville ninth graders who got picked out of the sixth through ninth graders to participate in the All-County Concert on Saturday.

The concert in on Saturday at 4:00 at Westmoreland High School and it includes the best from Oneida County. If you want to hear some phenomenal music you should attend this concert.

Now for the Bad News:

It's white!

(but it's only a little, and it won't last long!)

From WKTV: " Sun and clouds will share the sky for Thursday with still a few lingering flurries and a high in the lower 30's. Chilly weather is in the forecast for Thursday Night. Temperatures will likely fall back into the single digits. Sunshine will return for Friday and the weekend with moderating temperatures. Highs will be in the mid 30's on Friday and readings will climb back into the 40's for both weekend days."
