(Click the image; catch the mood!)BIG TRASH DAY!
It's 41 degrees and cloudy.
********
WKTV's forecast: "An area of low pressure will pass south of the region, but will pass close enough to give us scattered showers and clouds throughout the day. Expect a few peaks of sunshine in spots this morning, with thickening clouds. Scattered showers are likely this afternoon, with perhaps a steadier light rain for areas east of Utica. High temperatures expected to be near 60 degrees. A noticeable easterly breeze is expected through the day as well.
As this storm passes out to sea, it will drag the clouds and showers with it. Expect improving conditions tonight, with generally dry conditions and some breaks in the overcast. A return to sunshine is expected tomorrow, with highs 65-70.
Our next storm will be fast approaching, and will be with us as early as late Wednesday night. Rain is expected on Thursday."
I've received an E-mail from a blog-reader who was quite sure that she'd seen an eagle at Chittening Pond! I made a few trips there, over the weekend, but just saw lots of fisherman families having some grand fun!
"When I was a child, I grew up living next door to the Gerwitz farm on Sanger Ave. Marlene was my ” best friend” and her mother Olga did errands for Mr. Sanger. Marlene and I would beg to go with Olga to the “Castle” to deliver the food requested by Mr. Sanger.
My memories of the Mansion consist of a very heavy front door, dark long heavy drapes, mostly pulled closed, body armor statues here and there and heavy dark tables and chairs.
Mr. Sanger was a bit odd and would hide behind the drapes and peer out at us. After several trips there, he would come out briefly but had very little to say. If my memory is correct, he insisted on several cans of tomato soup included in each delivery.
What a treat it was to visit Mr. Sanger and his magnificent home!"

Perhaps Jim Kloster will be able to spot the eagle!
Out next to Madison Street. The tree still stands, but .........

Thanks, Linda! You reminded me that I had a photograph in my "archives" ------
This photograph of Joan (Best) McLaughlin admiring one of the knights in shining armor was taken by Dante Tranquille in 1950.
