FIRST THINGS FIRST!

FARMERS' MARKET TODAY

11:00 - 5:00 in the park

WKTV's forecast: "Quiet weather continues tomorrow with a sunny start to the day. Clouds begin to thicken up by mid afternoon into the evening, out ahead of an approaching storm system. Highs on Wednesday in the upper 70s.

That storm system will kick off showers and thunderstorms as a warm front crosses the state on Wednesday Night and Thursday. Highs Thursday will be in the upper 60's, but humidity will increase and a muggy feel to the air will be in the forecast for Thursday Night into Friday."

In the morning mail was a plea for help from the resident of 178 W. Bacon Street whose rusty, orange wheelbarrow has disappeared!

"I used the wheelbarrow yesterday for green waste day since everything has to be in containers. However I went to the front yard this morning and my garbage can I used was still there but someone had taken my wheelbarrow. I wasn't throwing it out but merely using it as a "container" which I had done many times before."

Perhaps there's a blog reader who can make the wheelbarrow reappear just as magically as it left!? It's return will be appreciated, I'm sure!

First it was back yard dividers, then came sidewalks, and now there are new plantings in front of the Pumilia Townhouses on Madison Street.


The Bulletin Board in the Park got a new look (and a new coat of paint) yesterday!
