Wednesday

Recyclables Day!

Have you noticed? The DPW and "Big Orange" are on Summer Schedule and start their days at 6:30!!

********

39.9 degrees

Sunshine will fill the skies again on Wednesday. With even warmer air over top of us, this will lead to highs again in the 70s, but likely the mid and upper 70s. Clouds will begin to drift in late in the day or during the evening.
A cold front will spoil the party as it crosses through on Wednesday night, ushering in a slight change and a chance of showers. Any clouds or sprinkles should clear out of the region very early on Thursday morning, leading to a nice afternoon. Highs in the mid or upper 60s for Thursday.

It was a great day, yesterday, and tenants of the Schoolhouse Apartments made the most of it.


Mr. Hudson has been observed working on what appeared to be a new railing on th side porch of the "Red Lion," but it's more than a railing: it's a planter, and he has now filled it with pansies!


So tiny as to be barely noticeable, there are several clumps of tiny pink flowers at both front and rear entrances to the Municipal Hall. I'm sure they have a fancy name, but - to me - they're "Bog Rosemary."



Far more splashy, a blanket of spreading phlox in front of the White residence on White Street.


Directly across the road, a Bleeding Heart bush blooms.


(Click!)

The blossoms on "Buckeyes" will open in the next few days!

I stopped and looked closely at some of the street trees (oaks?) on Sanger Avenue that appear to be dead: they're not. The twigs are green nearly to the tips and there are little-bitty leaf buds.


Up again!



Down again!

Have a great day, anyhow!
