Wednesday

It's Recyclables Day

32.9 degrees and some very "heavy" dew on the lawn.

The forecast from WKTV: "An area of high pressure that's been responsible for bringing us beautiful weather this week will continue to slide east. Behind this area of high pressure is a cold front, which will be the weather spoiler for the week.

In the meantime, grab the jacket heading out the door this morning. It's another chilly morning. Bright blue skies and sunshine will continue through the day today with afternoon highs around 70 degrees! This will be the best day of the week.

Increasing clouds tonight, with overnight lows much less chilly, near 50. Winds will pick up from the east between 10-20mph and will be with us tomorrow as well. A few sprinkles are also possible early tomorrow morning, but the bulk of the wet weather is expected tomorrow afternoon. Highs in the mid 60s.

A return to sunshine for Friday, with highs in the low 70s. Another cold front moves in Saturday afternoon, giving us showers and thunderstorms. Much cooler weather is expected on Sunday, with highs only in the 50s. Frost may be an issue again Sunday night."

Lilacs are in bloom and, even this early in the morning and with frost on the ground, the air is filled with their scent.

Wild strawberries are blooming, too: it's going to be a good year!

On Madison Street, as of Tuesday afternoon: status quo.

After school in Sangerfield:

"I hit the ball THAT FAR, Dad!"

- on Main Street:

"Hurry up, Mom! Run faster!"

- in the Park:

"I'm King of the Mountain!"

- next to Route 20, near the old Mayflower Motel:

"Now children: stay away from the road!"



Afternoon view from "Parkwood" - the Gordon residence - on Sangerhill Road.



Once the home of Sen. Henry J. Coggeshall, this is also where the late Hilda Ridings Barton spent her childhood. She liked to tell us about the times when, as a young girl, her father sent her across the road to these fields, in the afternoon, to bring the cows home.

The tennis courts at the high school were full, yesterday afternoon. Herkimer's Boys' Varsity Tennis team was in town, and there were plenty of spectators up on the lawn, too.
