At Home in the Huddle 2008: Friday

It's Field Days Weekend!!!

Today is starting out at 65 degrees.

Here is the Weather Channel's forecast for today ........

......... and for the weekend.

Details from WKTV:

"For Friday, with the showers and storms to the north, there will be some debris clouds left over across the region. With that, temperatures will have a hard time getting into the 90s. Highs will most likely be in the upper 80s but if we do see more sunshine, warmer areas may see temperatures in the low 90s. Besides the heat, the humidity will still be around for tomorrow and into the weekend. A chance of storms is again possible in the afternoon, but most areas should remain dry. Similar situation unfolds for Saturday.
Beyond Saturday, we stay warm and humid. However, the dividing line between cooler, drier air and the warm stuff will be tied up in our area. Unfortunately, that also means that the chance of storms will be tied up in our area as well. The best chance for widespread showers and storms will be on Monday with temperatures near 80.

Hollyhocks make a bright spot on Peck Road ...........

Stafford Avenue eye-catcher.

This ancient maple in a clump of daylilies is next to the old road that once led from the Cherry Valley Turnpike to the crest of "Bridge's Hill."

I've had an E-note from Lisa Belfield saying, "We are about to get our 'Cruisin into Waterville' Website up and running."

She's looking for pictures taken last year. If any of you have any that can be used, please send them to me and I'll forward them to her. Thanks!!!

I did some searches of The Waterville Times, looking for "McAdam" - lots and lots of "hits" three of which, in particular, interested me:

What are the chances that "Google" would find anything more about the cow with the name "Sadie Vale Concordia?"

From the Pennsburg Town & Country, March 28, 1903.
"A WONDERFUL COW

"The Holstein Friesian cow, Sadie Vale Concordia, whose seven-day record announced some time ago, was 30 pounds 10.16 ounces of butter, breaking the world's record, has just finished her 30-day record and again shattered the world's record for that period. During the 30 days she gave 2755.6 pounds of milk, producing 123 pounds and 8 1/4 ounces of butter. The official world's record has, heretofore, been 112 pounds."
