It's Garbage Day

A brisk 51 degrees at 6:30!

The WKTV forecast: "High pressure builds in from the north, bringing lots of sunshine to the area for Thursday and Friday. The humidity will stay low through about Saturday. A 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. A generally nice weekend is expected. Hot, humid weather returns for Saturday and Sunday with highs in the upper 80s.

"Once Upon a Time in Waterville"

The Old timers' Story Swap, where the past few gatherings focused on local businesses and the enterprising - and memorable - people who ran them back in the late 1930's, the 40s and 50s. Long lists have been compiled of grocery stores, car dealerships, gasoline stations & garages, taverns/ saloons as well as doctors, electricians and plumbers, barbers and milk deliverymen.

Tomorrow: lodging at inns or "cabins," and more!

Feel free to join us!
Share your memories or just listen and enjoy the stories!

Miscellaneous smile-makers


Hemerocalllis at Grace Church.


In country woods and flowerbeds, too, Beebalm blooms. Sometimes called Bergomot (because it smells somewhat like a Bergomot Orange) or "Oswego Tea," early colonists, taking a cue from Native Americans, drank a hot beverage made from the leaves of this plant in protest to the British tax on tea!



Lobelia Cardinalis - Cardinal Flower - just starting to peek through cattails along Loomis Road.



Black-eyed Susans in sunny spots



Butterfly Weed, blooming in the same place it's been for nearly forty years!
