Thursday with Add-on!

(Thanks for the photo, "J.I." !

OH, WOW!!

(It's on both sides of the sign!)

Be watching, today --- will she answer?


I hope she says


"Yes!"

It's Garbage Day!

54 degrees and wet.

From WKTV: "Another storm system moves through today followed by a brief warmup tomorrow and Saturday. An area of low pressure is tracking through Central New York today. Rain early this morning will gradually taper off to showers. Showers will end shortly after noon. Some drier air working in behind this storm may give us some peaks of sunshine this afternoon. High temperatures expected to be in the mid 60s.

Clouds will build in again tonight, as a warm front passes through. Some showers are possible again tonight. Overnight lows will only fall down into the upper 40s and low 50s.

A mix of sun and clouds tomorrow with much warmer temperatures. Highs are expected to crack 70 degrees or better! A weak disturbance lingering around will introduce some scattered showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. Some of these storms will be capable of causing some small hail.

At this point the weekend looks like a mixed bag. Saturday will be the better of the two days, with a mix of sun and clouds with highs in the mid 70s. Showers and thunderstorms will develop in the afternoon and evening. For Mother's Day, cooler temperatures are in the forecast as a cold front pushes east. An upper level area of low pressure may generate a couple of showers but it is not looking like a an all day rain event at this time. Highs will be around 60."

I hope it won't be rainy on Saturday morning. It'll be "Open House," again, at the Sanger Mansion, from 10:00 - 1:00 .......

(Clicking the poster image will take you to an interview with Wm. Cary Sanger, Jr., published in 1951.)

Part II of the Auction at the former "Home for Homeless Ladies" on Putnam Street will also take place on Saturday.

YESTERDAY

Fr. Tom gave a big wave from the front porch of the St. Bernard's rectory and shouted,

"Let the games begin!"

At Foodking!

A "Red Bud" on Putnam Street is beginning to bloom.

Tulips rule the tidy plantings at the Zwahlen home in Sangerfield.

Nearly everyone who has spoken or written to me thinks the "kiosk" should go in the parking lot in front of the Post Office and Dollar General.

Is this East Main Street site a possible spot? The paved area seems wide enough --- 'though we still don't know how large (or small) the structure actually is. Both location are problematic because they're slanted, but our DPW men are clever enough to overcome that difficulty, I'm sure!

Out in the country ............. dandelions!

At The Root Glen in Clinton - Virginia Bluebells.

The Rome Sand Plains - Trailing Arbutus.

Near York Road, south of Sangerfield - Painted Trillium.

FOR THE RECORD

Have a great day, everyone!

(I'll let you know if the car wash sign gives her answer!)
