It's Garbage Day!
37.4 degrees
37.4 degrees
From WKTV: Highs of 70-75 are expected, with 60s in the Adirondacks. A weak cool front will try and push through on Friday, but it will be moisture starved, so while a sprinkle is possible north of Utica, things should continue mainly sunny and dry. Highs will once again be in the 70s. On Saturday, we'll see continued sunshine along with what will likely be the warmest day of this stretch, as highs head for the mid or upper 70s, with an isolated 80 degree reading not out of the question.

I had an E-mail inquiry about the history of this handsome building, on Sanger Hill Road.
I believe that it was built around the time of the Civil War by one of the several Terry families, wealthy hop growers and dealers. It later became known as "Senator Coggeshall's home," the senator having married a Terry daughter named Lillie Alene. The late Hilda Ridings Barton was born there and for several years it was home to the Reilly family. It is now owned by the Gordons.
I keep checking Mark's blog: nothing yet!

There was a nice note in my mailbox, yesterday, from Amy Fromm, Richard Hilsinger's grandaughter, who wrote:
"I just want to thank you and Jr. Bartlett for including my grandfather in April 15th's newsletter. We will miss him dearly! He was the most wonderful man and inspired everyone who knew him."

I've had an E-mail from Margaret Bornick. (She and her husband, Ron, were the ones who started the choral groute "Tapestry," over twenty years ago.) She writes:
"One of the newer Tapestry singers had an itch to start a women's choral ensemble so I've been going to Hamilton every week to rehearse. It's an interesting experience and a really neat sound.

This is our official debut performance. There will be quite a different variety of music including a set of Balkin folk songs (and I thought French was bad!) and a 'vocal orchestra' piece that was developed by women in a WWII concentration camp."
That sounds like fun!
