Farmers' Market Today!




RECYCLABLE COLLECTION!

It's 59 degrees and clear.

The WKTV weather forecast is short and sweet: "Besides an early morning shower, Wednesday looks to be pleasant with a mix of sun and clouds and temperatures in the low 80s.
Sunshine and warm weather will return for the end of the week."


I'm sorry that I forgot to "blog" a reminder to watch for the Perseids. I did get up at 4:00 this morning, but didn't see any meteors at all. Perhaps tonight!

Whether you're on White Street .............



............ or Babbott Avenue South, or even glimpsed from Main Street, Pat's flowers stand out against their bright purple background ...



.......... an unexpected color for a building that was constructed as a Methodist Church in the 1860s!

Red and white flowers decorate the railing planter on the side deck of the Red Lion Pub.


I took this picture early in the day, but by quitting time Mike and Blake had done a great deal more work on the Bandstand roof and now the structure's starting to look just like the pictures!

Ready for the Rotarians and their Blueberry Pancakes at Bouckville!

(I'll blog the "restaurant" hours tomorrow!)




Have you seen a small sign at the corner of Rt 12B and Peck Road that says "Flower Stand?"
If you take time to turn, this is what you'll find!



I took a ride over to Vernon Center, yesterday afternoon, looking for the field of sunflowers
that we all enjoyed three years ago, but they weren't there. Just a big field of weeds.

Darn.

***********

But there are other side-road treasures:



there's no sign at the corner of Rt 315 and Shanley Road, but if you drive up the hill just a little way you'll find this display, at the Landis Farm.

"Old Timers' Story Swap" Friday at 4:30 at the Library.

Start-up topic: Picking Hops! This will be the only gathering in August, but in September we'll go back to our twice-monthly schedule at the 10:15 a.m. time!

FOR THE RECORD





Have a good day, everyone!
