Recyclables Day!
It's 37 degrees and clear.
WKTV predicts that "We'll start out great on Wednesday. At the same time, winds will shift into the south, and this will allow significant warmth to surge up at us. This will occur ahead of an approaching storm system from the west. Enough sunshine Wednesday should mean temperatures well into the 70s. We do expect cloud cover to roll in toward sunset, or maybe just a bit before. But much of Wednesday looks great. An isolated shower or storm is possible, mainly west of Utica.It's 37 degrees and clear.
Then a very unsettled pattern sets up. That storm will move through Wednesday night and Thursday, bringing a period of rain and perhaps some thunderstorms overnight and into Thursday morning. "

Something's happening on East Main Sreet and
the old "Modern Electric" has an inviting new look!
(I've heard "consignment shop" but no details.)

Something new on Tower Street:
the fields - potentially hundreds of acres - will become a
BLACK WALNUT TREE FARM!
(And there's rumor that additional land in Sangerfield has
been acquired for the same purpose.)
I found a fairly long - and informative - article in a 1981 issue of Mother Earth News.
"If you were ambitious and planted a full acre on ten-foot centers, you will have set out 400-plus black walnuts. By maturity, there will be room for a maximum of only 50 trees."

A blog-reader writes: "The Waterville Garden Club met at the Village Hall. Brad Alcott introduced a number of new perennial plants which can be used in container gardening. Members were then able to draw lots and take these new and flourishing plants home."
The date of the Garden Club's annual
Plant Sale
at Methodist Church Hall
has been changed to

The flowering crabapple tree that was planted in the Park by the Garden Club a few years ago in memory of "Billie" Woodman is blooming beautifully.
This tree on Babbott Avenue was very small when it was planted about thirty years ago in memory of John Zweifel, a long-time sexton at Grace Episcopal Church.

Yesterday I went on my annual trek to the Rome Sand Plains to find the "rare and elusive" Trailing Arbutus. Sometimes called "Mayflower," it's tiny but has an enormously sweet scent. It was a favorite of both my mother and mother-in-law - in western Massachusetts - and it also reminded me of Lorena Raker who had known it as a child in Pennsylvania. Of the scores of pictures that I've taken, over the years, this is the best ever!
And then I drove down to York Road, south of N. Brookfield, just to make sure that the Painted Trillium (also "rare and elusive") were still there - they were!
Have a Great Day, Everyone!
