Recyclables Day!
It's 43.9 degrees and clear.
Recyclables Day!
It's 43.9 degrees and clear.
According to WKTV, the forecast for today "looks delightful with plenty of sun and temperatures rebounding into the mid 70's after a chilly start. For Thursday and Friday, winds shift into the southwest as our High Pressure ridge moves east and develops what we call a "Bermuda High." As a result, we'll see a rather substantial warm up begin. Highs will peak in the mid 80s Thursday and with some humidity, and in the upper 80s Friday and Saturday. There is the outside chance we hit 90 degrees Friday or Saturday as well."

Terry Tanner wrote to me, yesterday morning, congratulating the Memorial Bandstand Committee, and included this great photograph and note: "Mary Campbell and I took Mom, Paula Gray and Mary’s mother-in-law, Eleanor Campbell, up to the Raquette Lake Boat Cruise on Thursday. We highly recommend it to everyone – absolutely wonderful meals and beautiful scenery. It was the perfect day!"

Also in the mail:
- a request from Lou Langone to publish this notice:
The Waterville Central School Class of 1948 will celebrate its 60th reunion September 19th with a buffet dinner at the Waterville American Legion C. J. Fulmer Post 92 located on route 20, Sangerfield. For further information contact Louis C. Langone at 841-4622 or George Kelley at 841-4092.
- and this, from Hank Gardner:
Kristin Strohmeyer sent this picture of two insulators labeled "Brookfield NY" and asks if there actually WAS a glass factory in Brookfield. (Or were these manufactured in New York in a company named "Brookfield.")
And this fascinating bit of Hanover history from Laurie King:
Famous evangelist Charles Grandison Finney lived in Hanover as a boy & later attended the Oneida Academy (Hamilton College). In the 1800s, Finney conducted unusual revivals in Rome, Utica and Clinton. Eventually, he became President of Oberlin College.
Thanks, Laurie! I found the following reference to the Finney Family in Ada Marie Peck's "History of the Hanover Society" -
"Rev. Charles G. Finney, the famous revivalist, was born in this little inn. (Finney's Tavern at the junction of Peck Road and Shanley.) The family moved from Peck's Corners to Jefferson county where Charles G. Finney studied law. In 1821 he was converted under the preaching of Rev. George Washington Gale, D.D., founder of Knox college and of Whitestown Seminary, who conducted a great religious revival at Adams during which a number, who afterwards became famous preachers, identified themselves with the church. After his conversion Mr. Finney studied theology and became an evangelist of world-wide fame."

- and this, from Hank Gardner:
"Fortunately for me, I will be in Waterville and see the ground breaking for the bandstand. Both my father and oldest brother played in the village band in the thirties.
That was when we had concerts on Friday nights during the summer, weather permitting. I hope to meet you there."

I wasn't able to get out and around yesterday until late in the afternoon, but - then - the sun shone right on the hop poles at Pete and Liz Kane's on Bogan Road........
............ and backlit a long row of sunflowers on the Greene Farm in Hanover.
The Tanners have a wonderful hop vine growing on their barn, but I need to take a better picture of it when the light is right!
Feathery vines of "Wild Cucumber" are draped, now, on country hedge rows.
It was getting dark when I came back down Buell Avenue, but the Treens were still at the Home Shoppe, constructing what appears to be a new raised bed beneath the store sign.
***
There MAY be a Concert in the Park, this evening,
by one of the bands that were rained out back in July.
