Tuesday with Add-on

9:30 a.m.
I've just received the following E-mail from Mr. John Brouillette who would like me to share it with all of you!

"We are harvesting snap beans on Hanover, and there are a couple of areas that we could not harvest with the machine. Hence if any "blog readers" are interested in picking some nice Sparticus Green Snap Beans, they are welcome. There is a patch behind my house, a little walk is involved, but the picking should be good. They are great tasting beans.......of course I am biased too."


This photograph is from the Historical Society Archives. Can anyone date it? and/or is there any chance that the picker will be recognized?

It's Big Trash Day!


69.8 degrees and sunny.


WKTV's forecast: "We expect sunshine through the day, with increasing amounts of it through the afternoon. Temperatures, provding we get enough of that sun, should hit the mid 80s. We do run the risk of at least a few showers or storms in the late afternoon.
On Tuesday night, a new area of thunderstorms is expected to develop in Michigan and Ontario and drop south and east into New York and New England. This complex of storms could become strong to severe overnight tomorrow night, bringing us some potential gusty winds and a period of very heavy rain."

It was hazy yesterday afternoon, but the view of East Hill from the top of West Hill was still grand!


Thanks to "Rusty" for these two photographs ......

Sandy Martin has sent the following "Crimson Bonnet" news:

"The Waterville Crimson Bonnets July get-together took place Thursday the 31st at 'Cavallo's' in New Hartford. Approximately 25 members were present. The food was delicious and so plentiful that many ladies took home doggy bags. Door prizes were awarded including two bottles of wine. After lunch some of the members visited Joett's Gift shop next door. We want to thank Joan Howard and Bev Prye for a wonderful time.

The August meeting will take place on Thursday the 28th at 'Michael's' in Waterville. (We hear that there will be dessert!) This meeting will be hosted by Lovina Staring and Pat Smith."
