It's Garbage Day!
Yesterday it was so cold and wet and dreary that not even the Reiles showed up for Farmers' Market!

According to Fr. Tom Servatius, "The major work on the northern tower of St. Bernard's Catholic Church (the top 7-8 feet) is pretty well set. They're going to hopefully get the other one done before the snow flies, and then point the brick on the towers and facade."

" The north and center entrances will be open this weekend.
After that, we're hopeful that the south entrance will be reopened as well, albeit with a temporary set of stairs."

The weather's not helping!
Mike Tower, r., and Blake Hotaling were in the Park just long enough to install the two remaining sections of baluster to the back side of the Bandstand. Coming next: Victorian arches that go between the posts, bluestone on the front steps and covering for the foundation as well as more grading for extended walkways.

The Weather ChannelWKTV predicts: "A chilly and cloudy start to Thursday with a few rain showers in the morning as temperatures start out in the upper 30s to near 40 degrees. Clouds with a few sprinkles at the bus stop this morning.
Chilly weather continues for Thursday with lake effect rain throughout the day. Highs once again will only be near 50 degrees, with most outlying areas in the upper 40s. Low pressure finally pushes out by Thursday night into Friday, with some sunshine Friday morning. Sun fades behind clouds by Friday afternoon as a warm front approaches the region, setting off showers by Friday night.
An area of low pressure will bring a cold front for Saturday, along with more rain and perhaps some thunder. Drier weather for Sunday."

It's going to be a good year for Bittersweet!
It will take another week or two and a good "cold snap" for the berries to open, but then they'll be really bright!
Polyporus craterellus - possibly? - or

Edible?
Don't try it!

LOOKING AHEAD
FOR THE RECORD
Down two.
The forecast really is so ratty that I'm going to spend a few days immersed in history at various area libraries. If something super-important happens please let me know: otherwise, I'll be back on Monday!
Have a great weekend, everyone!
