YESTERDAY
It was just starting to rain as I drove into the village at around 4:30 yesterday afternoon.
I headed southward, pausing to take a picture of the work being done at the former Zirkle residence on Sanger Avenue.
By the time I'd turned around at CVS, the skies had opened .................
............. and this is what West Main Street looked like between super-speed swipes of windshield wiper blades!
I understand that, after the rain, the sky was beautiful, and several people saw a double rainbow!
John Salvaggio sent this Buell Avenue view,
and Diane Marceau, who wrote, "The rainbow was awesome, the brighter one was a full rainbow across the sky with a double one on both ends." sent the next three pictures, taken by her daughter.
Thank you both!

For today, a mix of sunshine and clouds with the chance for showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon as a cold front approaches. Highs near 80 degrees. Another very mild night tonight with overnight lows in the mid 60s.

HERE AND THERE
Sunday afternoon on West Main Street.
At the Tanners' home on Route 20.
On Wild Grapevines, everywhere!
(But wait for the first frost, before you pick them, for the best flavor!)
There are lots and lots of "wild grape jam" and "wild grape jelly" recipes, online, starting with those on "Cooks.com."
*********
It's "Indian Corn" season, too!
The perennial question is, "What makes the kernels different colors?"
Here's one answer - from Scimix.com: "When we talk Indian corn, we talk harvest and decoration. But have you ever wonder why rows of mixed colors appear on the same ear of the ornamental Indian corn and simply defy genetics? The explanation of this phenomenon earned Dr. Barbara McClintock the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1983.
Two words: ‘jumping genes’, technically called transposons. These genes move from one place to another within the genetic material of Indian corn. When the transposon moves into the pigment gene, it stops pigments production and the Indian corn kernels appears white. When the transposon moves out, pigment is produced again. So, this in and out of transposons determines the colors of the Indian corn mosaic."

FOR THE RECORD
On Buell Avenue, the Wesslings' back yard in April .........
..................... and on Saturday!
Click to enlarge and you'll see where the main channel runs, and where all the water used to be, right at the foot of the hillside!
Out of view - a great many large chunks of rock - "riprap" - that will be set in place to (hopefully) keep any more ground from washing out in future floods.
