TRASH PICKUP, TODAY
It's 54.5 degrees and super-clear.
WKTV predicts that: " As we go into Wednesday, one more day of true high pressure being in control, which will lead to sunshine and highs in the 80s once again. A few high clouds will spread in on Wednesday night and Thursday, with a chance of showers arriving with a diminishing cold front."It's 54.5 degrees and super-clear.

It's going to be another great day for
FARMER'S MARKET
11:00 - 6:00 in the Park.
While you're there, look at the ground at the Brunswick end of the main sidewalk: it's the outline of the Bandstand! Not too small; not too big ... just right!

Across Madison Street from the Park - a glorious flowerbed in front of Mrs. Manion's home.
Also on Madison Street - a favorite doorway!

I don't know what it will be like in Sangerfield, today, but it was an obstacle course, yesterday! Commuters find new and different challenges, every day, at both the turn-off to Lincoln Davies and at Chuckery Corners on Route 12.

They're coming --- tomorrow!

If you ever "go to" Ebay and type in "Waterville, N.Y." you'll find copies of this 1885 birds'eye view of the community for sale. (click image.) A great portion of the countryside, then, was covered with hop yards.
As early as 1850, nearly every farm had its own hop house - or hop kiln.
Once the hops had been harvested, they had to be dried. This was done in hop houses like the one above, probably built around 1860 by one of the Terry families, now the Gordon farm on Sanger Hill Road.
This is the hop house on the old Fusek Farm, on Upper White Street.
Unfortunately, none of the remaining hop houses still have their cowls - roof vents - and even this, which was on a Zombek farm on Route 12B, has gone.
********************
There are several more hop houses in the area -- pictures tomorrow.
