Monday

It's 12 degrees and crispy clear.

GARBAGE DAY!

WKTV predicts that: "Monday looks like a quiet day as well, as high pressure hangs on and gives us sunshine in the morning. Clouds will be on the increase throughout the afternoon. These clouds are the beginnings of our next storm system, which will give us a combination of moderate snow, sleet, and/or rain on Tuesday and Wednesday. While it's still too early to project snowfall accumulation, the areas likely to see the most snow would be north and west of Utica. "



Yes! I did! I went to Fulton, yesterday, and saw a great many groups of robins "hanging out" on sunny banks next to the Thruway, gathering near little streams or muddy places.

I came home by way of Rt. 81 to Rt. 20, but didn't see any more until I'd reached Pleasant Valley.

I pulled over to take a picture of these willows (which seemed to my eye a much brighter Spring-gold than this photograph reflects) and there were a few more robins, hiding in shrubbery next to the patch of green!

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

Neither the Thruway nor Route 81 are good places to stop and take pictures, but Route 20 offered a couple of spectacular views of the Munsville Wind Farm AND wide shoulders.

I picked up the microfilm of The Waterville Times from Tom Tryniski - featured in an article in "Processor". He'll be mailing a copy (disk) of everything that he's scanned to us later in the week. That, in turn, can be copied so that the Historical Society can have their copy; the Library can have theirs, the Waterville Times can have one, etc., etc..... It'll be pretty neat!

Have a great day!
