It's Friday!

54 degrees and dry.

From WKTV: "High pressure continues to dominate our weather. Some patchy fog this morning will lift, bringing wall to wall sunshine again for today! Temperatures will be a bit warmer, with highs in the mid 80s and comfortable levels of humidity. Tonight will be nice and dry as well, with overnight lows comfortably near 60. As that area of high pressure slides east, winds will shift into the southwest, bringing in slightly more humid conditions heading into the weekend.
Sunny skies will continue into Saturday with highs in the mid 80s again, with stil...noticeable, but not bad humidity. Sunday starts off similarly. But, as we go into later Sunday, a strong, but shallow cold front will move through the area. This will bring us some showers and thunderstorms late in the day Sunday."

I've just been sent this picture of frost on soybeans at Klings Mill early on the morning of August 20!

If we could pick the perfect Summer Day that we'd like to have many, many more of, yesterday would have been it!

Finally, the last of the oats are being harvested.


I spotted this combine just outside the village on Hanover Road, and now I know enough to say that this farmer was "making straw while the sun shines!"



This little rock garden at Mary Green's caught my eye.

Sanger Avenue

While I was riding around the village I began noticing that there were quite a few new "SOLD" signs!


White Street


West Bacon Sreet


Also on West Bacon


This W. Bacon Street home has just been sold, too.


It's a good sign!

This is, too!

CORRECTION: I received an E-mail from "Dana" in re: the photographs I posted yesterday of the Chicken BBQ at Richer Feeds in Sangerfield. She said, "I'm writing to correct you about the Blue Seal (formerly Richer) Feed Chicken BBQ...it was actually an invite only event held for customers....thanking them for their business....I guess you could say customer appreciation. Local farmers and their entire families (and employees) are invited every year for chicken BBQ, ice cream, mill tours, and fun for adults and kids....dunk tank, bounce house, dunk tank (managers and other staff were dunked and raised over $2000 for the local Dairy Queens).

The erroneous information that I supplied had come from a very enthusiastic and cordial young man who was managing the parking lot! Possibly he was connected to "Brooks'" and knew that there were going to be leftovers available to the public.

Going into the weekend ............

Colgate Football is gearing up for their 118th season!
