Tuesday

It's 60 degrees and overcast

WKTV predicts: "We'll see a mix of sun and clouds, with more clouds in the morning and more sun in the afternoon with the chance of a shower or storm. Again, not everyone will get wet but the threat is there. Highs in the low 80s.
A large scale storm system will develop and slowly move through the region on Wednesday. Widespread showers and storms are possible with highs in the upper 70s. By Thursday, the storm will be far enough east to give us maybe a few morning showers, followed by sunshine in the afternoon. "

Summer Face-lifts!

The one above is on E. Bacon Street.........


This home, on Babbott Avenue, is getting new siding ......

On roadsides, look for "Bouncing Bet" or Soapwort.

Early settlers brought it from Great Britain to use as soap! (It can also be used to produce a "head" in home-brewed beer!)

Hop Vines are HUGE!

This, at St. Bernard's Catholic Church, has even topped the purple martin house in the center!

I'll be on the road, today, meeting my cousin Paul and our friend Sir John Keir at the Red Lion Inn in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. Whether or not there will be a blog post tomorrow morning will depend on several things, but I AM anticipating a "Letter to the Blogger" re: controversial action taken by the School Board, last week. I'm sure that a similar communication will appear in this week's issue of The Waterville Times.

Have a Great Day, everyone!
