Finally .... it's cool!

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

It's Garbage Day

and just 60 degrees at 6 0'clock!

The WKTV Weather Forecast: "After yet another gorgeous weekend we'll be getting some much needed rain. Clouds and thunderstorms are in the forecast today, with the potential for gusty winds and locally heavy rainfall. High temperatures today a bit cooler, close to 80 degrees. Thunderstorms end this evening, with mostly cloudy skies tonight. Overnight lows in the 60s.

A chance for thunderstorms tomorrow. Highs again near 80. Dry weather returns Wednesday followed by a warmup Thursday and Friday. The weekend looks ok right now with generally dry and seasonable weather."

The heat "dome" that settled over Waterville on Thursday hung in place day after day.
Daytime temperatures pushed - or even exceeded - the 100 degree mark and, at night, seemed never to go much below 85. The humidity slowed nearly everyone down and, on Saturday afternoon, nothing at all was moving on Main Street.

In the shade, residents of the Schoolhouse Apartments sat chatting .......



..... and on Madison Street a painter finished giving a new look to the shady side of Debbie Lucas' pretty home.

On Elmwood Avenue, Jim Brackett braved heat and sunshine to shingle the roof of his house, saying, "There are just some things that have to be done!"



That must have been what Jack Brouillette, in Hanover, was thinking:



"Make hay while the sun shines!"


In the park, the 1906 Watering Trough seemed to bubble over with petunias.
