Tuesday

That was yesterday
................

today will be something else!

It's
BIG TRASH DAY!!!



I think I'll use Mark's Florida Sky as a "desktop" for a day or two.

It was 35 degrees and raining, when I got up, but now the temperature has fallen to 32.5 degrees and it's snowing.

  • Today: Rain changes to snow this morning. Snow will mix with and change to sleet and then freezing rain this afternoon. 2"-4" snow and sleet accumulation before the changeover. Temperatures falling to near 30.
  • Tonight: Freezing rain. Ice will change to plain rain in most areas (except for the Adirondacks) by morning. Still quite icy on the roadways. Exercise caution. Temperatures rising to near 35 in town by morning.
  • Wednesday: Rain, sleet and freezing rain ending as a mix of rain or snow showers late in the day. High: 38, Low: 22
  • Thursday: A mix of sun and clouds with some snow showers. High: 37, Low: 25
  • Friday: A chance of snow. High: 34, Low: 12

America's Greatest Heart Run and Walk
will take place this Saturday.

I just received this E-note: "This year Team Tommy (in memory of Tommy Wilson) will be walking and running for the fifth time and we will be sporting new white hoodies with the Team Tommy logo and his picture on the front so we should be spotted in the crowd. We are still about 15 family and friends strong and we do this in his honor every year because we all loved him so much!!!!!"

Sap buckets are out at Keyes Brook Farm - the Rippey residence - on Route 12B north of Deansboro ...............

and tubing and tanks in place on Frog Park and Craig Foot Roads, south of Waterville.


Two deer, near Skip and Joan Kemp's home, were such a dark grayish color that I nearly missed seing them.


Some brush - or was there an old building here? - has been cleared opening a nice new view of Bridge's Hill from Route 20 in Sangerfield.

Yes: it works! I picked a few springs from a forsythia bush just about a week ago and - voilĂ , Spring!

My "Paperwhites" are blooming, too, but I think I need an even bigger "flower fix" and - depending on the weather - I may take a three-day break to see the


annual Spring Flower Show at Mount Holyoke College
in South Hadley, Massachusetts, where I grew up, and visit some old friends, there, too.

These photos are from the show two or three years ago: I'll take new ones to post whenever I find internet access!


In the meantime - enjoy this Jamaican Sunset, courtesy of Mary and Joel Campbell.
