Thursday

It's Garbage Day!

28.2 degrees and clear.


It's going to be another super day!

What a great week it's been for all of those who have been on vacation!

I think I'll take a vacation now, too!

("Vacation" means that I'll be battling "Bishop's Leaf" in my flowerbeds, getting a supply of Lou Langone's "Special Mix" compost, exploring some woodlands either here or up North, doing lots of historical-type digging/writing and, perhaps .... just sleeping late!

Back on Monday.)

**********************************

WKTV's meteorologist predicts that: "An area of high pressure will continue to dominate our weather. Expect plenty of sunshine, with highs in the low 60s. It will be quite dry outside today. Burning brush or leaves outside isn't recommended. Clear skies tonight, with overnight lows in the low 30s. More sunshine tomorrow, with temperatures heading into the upper 60s.

Some changes will be up ahead for Saturday. A cool front will push in from the north, giving us a few clouds and a sprinkle for Saturday. Temperatures will cool off into the low 50s for Sunday, with continued sunshine.

Our next storm system will arrive Monday afternoon. Rain showers and cooler weather is expected through Wednesday. "

It's that season again: something will be happening in the westbound lane of Route 20.

Something else is happening at the underpass: there's a persistent pond there!

The fields are dry.

A cloud of dust follows a tractor in a field next to Route 20 W. of Sangerfield.

On Fuess-Cleary Road, the lawn has been mown at "Bell Top Farm!"

*******************

In the woods, Bloodroot is blooming right on schedule ..........

............ tiny little Spring Beauty are opening ..........

........ and the first "periwinkle" blossoms of Myrtle bloom in Whiskey Hollow.

I was only in the village for a little while, yesterday afternoon, but .....

............. whether they were riding ............

.............. walking ..............

.............. or dancing and singing "Jingle Bells!" ............

everybody was smiling!

FOR THE RECORD

It was four years ago today that the Bandstand Design Workshop took place!

(Soon; very soon!)

******

Demolition is due to start on Friday if, in fact, it has not already begun.

***********************************

NEXT WEEK IS "EARTH WEEK"

The first Green Waste collection will take place on Tuesday. Remember to put clippings and rakings in dumpable containers!

The DPW will NOT take garbage bags of debris or vacuum heaps of leaves left next to the road!

Gravel may be spread in roadways for the street sweeper to pick up.

Have a Great Weekend, Everyone!
