FARMERS' MARKET TODAY!

It's Recyclables Day

48 degree and sunny

WKTV's forecast: "Warming up nicely today, with unsettled weather expected as we head closer to the weekend.

Despite the chilly start to the day, we expect a nice and warm afternoon. Sunshine will be in abundance today, with temperatures climbing to near 80 by the afternoon. Winds will be light today too. Overnight, expect increasing clouds, with temperatures not anywhere near as chilly, falling to near 60 by tomorrow morning. An isolated thunderstorm is possible late tonight as a warm front crosses the region.

Waking up to clouds and higher humidity tomorrow. A cold front will approach by later in the day. Expect variable cloudiness tomorrow, with showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. Some showers and thunderstorms could be on the stronger side, capable of producing gusty winds and small hail. Temperatures expected to be near 80 again before the thunderstorms arrive.

More showers and storms on Friday as our cold front stalls near the area.

As we head into the weekend, an area of low pressure is expected to develop along a stalled frontal boundary. This storm is expected to cross through the northeast Saturday, likely giving us a period of rain. The storm exits by Sunday, with a few leftover showers. Drying out, but staying on the humid side as we head into next week.

Cruising Main Street

I remembered that I'd gotten an Email yesterday morning from Mary Fanning, who wrote: "Keep watch on the Masonic Temple. The Masons have contracted to have it painted. Someone with a lift truck was there yesterday and put up ladders, but later they were gone."


So I pulled around behind the building. There wasn't anyone there, but what looked just like Wayne Brouillette's "lift" was parked on the rear lawn and someone had been working on the narrow walkway outside the "console room" of the tower. A sizable portion of the railing had been removed and replaced with temporary orange safety fence."

When I as leaving, I coudn't help but stop and take a picture of this view of Judy Christman's walled garden at the St. John Apartments!

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

Out on Fuess-Cleary Road, the field to my right had rolls of hay;


and on my left were scores of large-sized bales.


The edges of the road are bordered with the tiny white daisy-like flowers of wild cammomile .......

or patches of blue Cornflower.


On Loomis Road, I slowed to search for any remaining "Turk's Cap" lilies. They were there, their petals turned up ..................


........... and, right on schedule, the first bright red blossoms of Cardinal Flower are opening.

The following poster was sent to me by "Rusty," who explained that:

"A Bible study group from SouthGate Ministries is cooking! With the money raised, they'll send a few children to Christian camp."
