From WKTV: "For those living south of Route 20, expect a cloudy Friday with on and off rain showers throughout the day and temperatures in the mid to upper 50s. For the Mohawk Valley, we will be mostly cloudy with a couple of sprinkles and maybe a few peaks of sun. The North Country should remain dry tomorrow with mostly to partly sunny skies, allowing temperatures to approach 60 degrees.
High pressure will move in just in time for the weekend. Saturday looks fantastic with partly to mostly sunny skies and temperatures in the mid 60s. Sunshine will continue for Mother's Day, with an increase in clouds late in the afternoon ahead of our next storm system. Any chance of rain won't occur until the evening hours. Temperatures will be in the mid 60s."

Hanging planters are appearing. These are on White Street.
There will be many more after Sunday - Mother's Day - and the parking lot at Alcott's Greenhouses on Route 20 will be full between now and then!

"Bleeding Heart," on White Street.
Flowering shrubs and trees are at their peak.
These are the blossoms of the quartet of Crabapple Trees at the point of the Park.

Correction: the beautiful pink Crabapple tree in the Park that was planted in memory of Billie Woodman was done so not by the Garden Club, as I had stated, but by the Board of the George W. Tower Foundation.
Has anyone kept track of other memorial plantings in the Park? I believe that at least one of the lilac bushes - perhaps both - were planted in memory of Mrs. Marjorie Gates - 25 or 30 years ago.

Last Sunday, Dick and Sandy Martin and Dan and Linda Rauscher walked the trail between the Deansboro Fire House and VanHyning Road. The white trillium were in full bloom and covered both sides of the trail. Since Dan is involved with the Chenango Canal Corridor Project, he continued to give Dick, Sandy and Linda a tour of the trail and the old locks along the way. The photograph above is of an old lock on Canal Road. (Thank you, Linda!)

They're Ba-a-a-ck!
(Click for source.)The Orioles, who love oranges,
........... the "Hummers," reminding me of this Emily Dickinson poem:
A Route of Evanescence- inspired by, if not about, hummingbirds -
With a revolving Wheel --
A Resonance of Emerald --
A Rush of Cochineal --
And every Blossom on the Bush
Adjusts its tumbled Head --
The mail from Tunis, probably,
An easy Morning's Ride --
and also to see if the Library has
"A Summer of Hummingbirds"
(which is not specifically about hummers, either!) .....
(Click for source.)and the Rosebreasted Grosbeaks.
