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

FARMERS MARKET TODAY!


There was a little bit of rain during the night, but it's 58 degrees and dry at 7:30.

From WKTV: "A small area of high pressure returns today, bringing mostly sunny skies to Central New York. Cooler air arrives on the back side of yesterday's cold front. Temperatures today will be 10-15 degrees cooler this afternoon with highs in the upper 60s to near 70 degrees. Increasing clouds tonight with rain showers developing before daybreak. Overnight lows in the upper 50s.

Nice weather is short lived as another cold front arrives on Thursday morning, bringing along widespread light rain throughout the day. It will be cloudy and chilly with highs only in the 50s. Overnight lows will dip into the 30s in most areas later in the week, with the potential for some frost on the cold spots.

Lots of sunshine and beautiful weather expected for the weekend. Highs in the upper 60s to near 70."

Time to start looking for "horse chestnuts" ...........

Aescalus Grabra - otherwise known as "the Buckeye Tree"

that will soon start to drop it's fruit on the gr0und for greedy squirrels to start hoarding.



I, myself, much prefer the sort of "buckeye" that's made with peanut butter and chocolate!

IN THE MAIL

The link to a Youtube video about modern Hop Harvesting in Yakima Valley, Washington, thanks to John Ogden!

All of our "old timer" hop pickers will enjoy watching it, for sure!

I think I'll go over to the Foothill Hop Farm south of Munnsville and see if they're still picking. I think they have some modern harvesting machines, too.
