A beautiful, crisp morning!

From the Weather Channel

It'll be a Perfect Day for

FARMERS' MARKET!

***********

It's Recyclables Day.

42.6 degrees; the furnace is humming!

The WKTV Forecast is short and sweet! "A massive area of high pressure is settling overhead. A bit of patchy fog this morning, with cool temperatures. The fog will lift shortly after daybreak, with a return to sunshine for all. Expect nearly wall to wall sunshine today with highs in the upper 70s. Another clear, cool night with overnight lows once again in the mid to upper 40's.

Encore sunshine tomorrow, with highs in the upper 80s. High pressure will retreat to the east by Friday, allowing for more clouds to move in. A moisture starved cold front will drop in from Canada and produce a few clouds on Saturday. More sunshine as another high pressure center builds in for Sunday. Nice weather expected to last through Tuesday."

It was not until yesterday that many of us heard of the death on Sunday of Mr. Edward "Inchie' Ruane, of Stockwell. His Obituary appears on the Bentz Funeral Home website, this morning.

My deepest sympathy to "Dottie" and "Inchie's" entire family.

Along with lawn placards representing Legislature hopefuls Stephenson and Brennan, more signs are appearing - these promote the Fourth Annual "Cruisin' into Waterville" that will take place on September 19th. I've added Cruise-in's link - at the left, on this page - so keep checking back for new announcements. ALSO, if you're around town, look for a Cruise-in brochure: I'm told that there's even more information to be found there.

When you go to the Farmers' Market, today, check out the latest progress on the Memorial Bandstand: not only is the roof structure an impressive piece of carpentry, but now the light fixtures are all in place and, by late yesterday afternoon, ceiling panels and soffit facing and vents were being put in place.

In the village, make a point of driving/walking on S. Babbott Avenue where Pat's "Trumpet Trees" are blooming!



In the Library Garden, some "dinner plate sized" blossoms are attracting plenty of attention.

The Library's blog challenges readers to "Name That Flower!"

A blog-reader wondered what had happened to the lot where the old "Putnam Hall" (or Mill) stood before being razed two years ago: it's empty but neatly mown. I do not know to whom it belongs.

FOR THE RECORD

HAVE A GREAT DAY!
