*********

It's Garbage Day!
52.9 and overcast


WKTV predicts that: " Temperatures will be in the mid to upper 70s. The Adirondacks will see the most sunshine, while the Oneonta area should see the least.
For the Holiday Weekend...
The timing of this weekend's cold front continues to speed up slowly but surely. This will bring us a chance of showers Friday and Friday night. There may be a few lingering showers around into Saturday as well, but on both days, we'll call it a mix of sun and clouds outside of that. Temperatures will range from the mid 70s Friday to upper 70s Saturday.
Clearing will commence Saturday night so that Sunday should be mostly sunny and very pleasant. We'll be a little warmer on Labor Day Monday, with highs in the low 80s and plenty of sunshine likely."



Their forecast was wrong: they weren't lying down because it was going to rain! They were just enjoying the sunshine. It's been a magnificent week!


Fields are golden .........


Every day started out beautifully .......

(Pat's morning glories on White Street.)


............ and stayed bright ...........


........... outdoor projects went forward .........

(that's Dan Maine's crew working on Madison Street.)


Tom Eisenhut, on Main Street, making sure that his building - which was built in 1880 - stays in good shape for another 128 years!



......... and the one spot that needed help got it from Mr. Kelley, who repaired a lamp on Sanger Avenue.




I'm taking a break ---
Have a super-good weekend, everyone!
