Tuesday

"All those in favor......."

"Aye!"

*******

At last night's meeting of the Village Board, the Mayor and Trustees gave their unanimous approval to the Memorial Bandstand Committee for the proposed locations of both the bandstand structure and handicap-accessible walkways.

Also approved was the committee's request to hold a formal
Ground Breaking Ceremony
at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 20th.

(Wow! It's finally going to happen!)

It's Green Waste Day

61.2 degrees and drippy.

WKTV's forecast: "Other than a morning shower, it will be mainly cloudy and cool Tuesday morning. As the day goes on, we'll gradually lose the clouds and turn mostly sunny by mid afternoon. Highs will be in the upper 60s though, very cool for this time of year. And if you think that's cool, try tomorrow night on for size! The record low tomorrow night is 40 degrees. We feel lower 40s will be reachable. This means 30s are likely in the Adirondacks.
A sprawling area of high pressure will build in for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. As winds shift into the southwest by Friday, we'll see a rather substantial warm up begin. Highs will peak in the mid 70s Wednesday (A top 10 summer day), mid 80s Thursday and with some humidity, upper 80s Friday. There is the outside chance we hit 90 degrees Friday or Saturday as well."



Resurfacing was under way, yesterday, on portions of Madison and Tower Streets.

I rode around the community looking for hop vines.

There's a hop pole near the restored hop house on the Gordon Farm on Tower Street .....


............. a beauty in Sangerfield between the Post Office and Town Hall.


The Olmsteads on Sanger Avenue have one in their back yard .....


............. and here are some that I hadn't noticed, before, behind the garage at the St. Bernard's rectory.


If YOU have one that we should all see, please let me know!

In Clinton. I don't know who the young man is, but he was - literally - stopping traffic while he peddled a seldom-seen unicycle through the village!
