53 degrees with light rain




.............. but that's O.K.: look what's coming!


YEA!!

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

WKTV's forecast for today: "Clouds and a few showers are expected this morning. A light jacket is a good idea heading out the door this morning, as temperatures will be a bit on the cooler side today.

Unsettled weather will hang around Central New York today, with a few clouds and showers through the morning. As we progress into the afternoon, the showers will become less numerous. Temperatures will be on the cool side, with highs only in the low to mid 60s. The lack of sunshine will make it feel much cooler than previous days. Partly cloudy tonight with overnight lows around 50.
On Friday, a cold front will approach from the northwest. A mix of sunshine and clouds is expected Friday morning, followed by a few showers in the middle of the day. Highs on Friday in the mid to upper 60s.
The weekend will start out cool but sunny. Highs on Saturday in the 60s, but temperatures will get quite chilly by Sunday morning. Some of the coolest weather of the season is possible, with mid to upper 30s even here in town. We will have to watch for the potential of widespread frost in areas outside of the Mohawk Valley. Sunshine will continue on Sunday, with highs near 70."

There's sign in front of St. Bernard's Catholic Church that's a little hard to read, if you're driving, but this makes it easier!

IN THE MAIL


Sandy Harding has a question:

"I've downloaded the vendor map but can't find a list of the vendors that matches up with the numbers. Can you tell me where to find the list of vendors?"

If you know the answer, just write to me and I'll forward it to Sandy, right away!


Thank You!

While Mike Tower and Blake Hotaling installed sections of baluster ......



... Chris Harter applied dentils: the row of little blocks beneath the soffit; one of the "Victorian" touches that, along with the brackets, make the bandstand "ours!"





Looking at the balusters from outside is grand:



looking from the inside out is even better!

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

Elsewhere in the park .....



... there was plenty going on at Farmers' Market , but I only took one picture:
Edith Reile's jars of preserves gleaming like jewels n the afternoon sun!



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



It was a great day for painting, and Honnelore was up in the lift, again!



Detail of the wonderful colors that she's using!

More wonderful colors, in this photograph sent to me by Glen Carroll .......




............ who was playing "tourist" ..........



.......... and sent these pictures of St. Basil's Cathedral, Red Square and Lenin's Tomb.....


in Moscow, of course!!


He wrote: "Even at night Red Square was amazing. Remember the military parades in
red square??? Lenin's tomb used to have an honor guard always. Now there was one
lonely private strolling nearby."

And: "Since I won't be getting home till Saturday, I should get the award for coming the farthest for Cruisin in to Waterville :)"

I asked Glen if he was* really multi-lingual: "Multi-lingual? One would think after 8 years of French I would be...... sigh..... I understand written and spoken French, I understand spoken German; I understand spoken Spanish. But I don't speak French or Spanish enough to talk it.... but... as I speak German every day now I am getting better.

Arabic is just too harsh for me to understand. I know many phrases but wouldn't know if someone was happy or upset at me..... :)

* I debated typing "if he WERE...". ... Here's the rule: "If it were" is used for conditions contrary to fact, whereas "if it was" is used for simple conditions. To test the clause you can add an imaginary statement of fact. If this statement begins with "but" the condition is contrary to fact."

I'm still not sure. Sometimes just speaking English is complicated enough!

This photo file JUST arrived, with the caption "Some things are easy to understand, even in Russian!"




Thanks loads, Glen!
