Hot Summer Day Ahead

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

It's already 72 degrees and muggy at 6:30.

WKTV's forecast: "Another mild and muggy day across Central New York, but some relief is in sight. A weak cold front brings a slight chance of a shower or storm early today. The majority of this afternoon and evening is expected to be dry and partly sunny. Breezy, humid, with highs still in the mid to upper 80s.

A stronger cold front arrives early tomorrow, bringing real relief to the area. Highs fall back into the 70s with mainly cloudy skies. The chance of a few showers are possible, especially in the higher elevations.

Mostly sunny weather for the end of week, with highs in the 80s. More sunshine and summertime temperatures are expected for the weekend."

PARROT UPDATE

He'd been spotted on the roof of the house just east of "Michael's," in Sangerfield on Sunday afternoon, but had left by the time I went looking for him early yesterday.

Summer on Main Street

Even in the shade, this thermometer - mounted on a tree on Sally Road - hit the 90-degree mark.

Bill Vetter & Co. (Matt Kane and Jim Bogan, who was out of camera view,) have finished painting the Episcopal Rectory on E. Main Street and moved to Ms. Gurdo's home on Osborne Avenue. (Don't worry: the pinkish paint is just the primer!)

Another painting project is under way at the Petrie residence on White Street.

While painters all looked for shady spots in which to work, plants in Pat's gardens on
S. Babbott Avenue seem to be thriving in the hot sun.

A peek through the garden gate.

The heat, sunshine and even highway dust have done nothing to dull Duke's window boxes at "Michael's Fine Food and Spirits" in Sangerfield.
