Monday

It's Garbage Day!

32.5 degrees

"But.." according to WKTV, "by the afternoon the strong May sunshine will help temperatures quickly jump into the 60s by lunchtime and eventually upper 60s by the afternoon. Skies will average mostly sunny with light winds. Monday night, temperatures will get chilly once again with continued quiet conditions. The weather continues to average partly to mostly sunny on Tuesday, with highs near 70! A weak cold front may spark a thunderstorm late in the day.

In the E-mail box: "Leslie Bohner Risley is recoup-ing nicely from a new knee operation in the hospital in Ocala Fl. Her home address is 8941 Sw 204 Cir, Dunnellon, Fl. 34431 for any that might want to send her a card... Respectfully, Gil Condon."

From John Peterson. "
Dan is at Al Asad now. Do not know any more, will hear from him after he settles in and figgers out how to get on line or phone. He had a party at his place last Sat. and had a surprise visitor, seems Andy Ferrucci was in Myrtle Beach, and went up and crashed the party at about 10:00 p.m. Stayed the nite and a great time was had by all!!!"

It was a gray day outdoors, yesterday, but at the Methodist Church everything was bright!

As the line of hungry people grew and grew, Kent Cole kept reaching into the big garbage cans and coming up with more and more and even more beautifully barbecued chicken - a WFD specialty!

Even on dark days - or, perhaps, especially on dark days - The Root Glen at Hamilton College is a beautiful place to visit.


Clumps of Hellebore are bright ........


.....the raised beds are filled with color ....


........... and the first azaleas and Forget-me-nots are blooming in the borders of the "Hemlock Enclosure."


Then there are the "Bluebells!"
(The "watermark" is intentional!)



Here's how to find The Glen.

Drive up College Hill 'til you're almost at the top and you can see the Hamilton College gates on your right.
  • On your left, look for the Elihu Root house (building 69 on the map) and turn into the driveway.
  • Make another quick turn - right - into a parkinglot.
  • You'll be able to see a small white gazebo. That's where you'll find maps of The Glen and a Guest Book - be sure to sign it when you leave!

New additions to the Gridley-Paige Waterfall! A tiny foot bridge and a bright American Flag!

More reason to stay close to home!

Have a Good Day, Everyone!
