"Just looked at the blog for today, and I noticed that you forgot something. Normally, you give us the names on the Car Wash sign, and it is a handy way to find out who's birthday it is. No such pictures today. Now really, Ms. Brown, you must be consistent. What if the people honored on the sign find out that they were slighted by you? Plus, we're relying on you to provide us with all such important matters? But, given that you might be too busy to take the pictures, par chance, could you please tell me who's birthday it is today?"
Here are two new photographs!

I don't know how old Dan is, but the HUDL BLGR is

It's Garbage Day, again!
Nearly 42 degrees; overcast, but dry.

WKTV: "(Thursday) will be about 10-15 degrees cooler, but it will still be very pleasant, with highs in the mid to upper 50s and ample sunshine. Clouds will slowly move on in here tomorrow night, in advance of a warm front, the leading edge to a return to springtime warmth. This is tied to a much more complex system that will impact us on Friday and Saturday and usher in a significant change in the weather to more of a cloudy, unsettled, cool pattern. With some showers around on Friday, we stand to see very little sun unless the warm front lifts further north than we think right now. Then on Friday night and Saturday, the main storm system will move through and drag a cold front through as well, returning us to cooler weather.
Rain could be heavy at times Friday night and some thunderstorms are possible into Saturday morning. Rain will taper off to showers on Saturday. The combination of snow melt from the warm weather and the rain may lead to localized flooding east of Utica, primarily in Herkimer, Hamilton and Fulton Counties."

Tractors are out. Spring plowing's begun.
"Plowing" - I believe - is a word that covers several actions: there's "disking," for instance, and "harrowing." Perhaps a reader will explain the function of the implement show in this picture?

A cellar hole has been dug and construction is under way on a new residence at the corner of Sally and Brouillette Roads.
Finally ---- the first hepaticas are blooming

In yesterday's "snail mail" I had a note from Gary Orendorff with a clipping from the Syracuse newspaper: yet another article about "the old newspaper man," Tom Tryniski! You can read it by clicking HERE. (Thanks, Gary!)
I also had an E-letter from Kristin Strohmeyer answering my query about the Boy Scouts' trip to the Florida National High Adventure Sea Base.
" Eleven Scouts and four adults are leaving this Saturday morning for JFK and a quick flight to Ft. Lauderdale. They are spending the night there and then a bus is picking them up and driving them four hours south to Summerland Key. The Brinton Environmental Center will house them Sunday, then up Monday morning for a six m ilke kayak out to a barrier island 'til Friday." On the agenda: swimming, snorkeling, deepsea fishing and fun! She adds that "We're grateful to the Ladies Auxiliary of the American Legion for our T-shirts and to everyone that donated time and money to make this trip happen. It's the trip of a lifetime!" (She promises a photo as soon as she has one!) (Thanks, Kristin!)
I've just now (at 6:30 a.m.) received this nice note from Barb Adkyns and three photographs taken at the Jessica Jones Benefit that took place at the Legion on Sunday.
From a very reliable source: the name "MerriRose" Florist has been purchased by Janice Eisenhut and will open in June in the former Belfield Agency building on Main Sreet.

Many thanks to all the merchants, companies, fire department, Legion and individuals who contributed time, money and prizes.
And thanks to a dedicated group of volunteers who pulled it all together."
