It's 61 degrees and overcast.
WKTV predicts that : "A weak area of high pressure will keep us high and dry for Monday and part of Tuesday. Monday looks comfortable and pleasant with partly sunny skies and a slight chance of a sprinkle to the north and east of Utica. As we go into Tuesday, the forecast becomes more complex. A cold front is going to move in from the west throughout the day. As it comes closer, the winds will be shifting to the south, ushering in warmer and more humid air. Ahead of the front, there is a chance for some scattered showers and thunderstorms Tuesday afternoon and evening."

There is no Village Board Meeting, this evening.

A blog-reader is looking for Karen Schwartz (possibly) Gentile. Can any of you help?
Just beginning to bloom on country hedgerows -
"Virgin's Bower" or wild clematis.
Blooming in huge bunches in front of the White residence on White Street, Pink Cone Flower.
Otherwise known as Echinacea, many believe that extracts are "good for what ails you," including your memory!
Speaking of Memory................
Down another 2 cents on Saturday.
J. Peck sent this, however, as yet another good reason to move to Florida!

Speaking of Memory................
I had the priveledge and pleasure of dining with Marjorie Loftus Barnes and her son, Tom, at The Landmark Tavern in Bouckville, last night. Rear Admiral Willis Barnes' funeral had taken place on Saturday, and our conversation was about that event; the perfectly-timed "fly-over" at the cemetery, and dozens of other poignant memories. But then something completely unpredictable and delightful happened: also dining at the Landmark was a gentleman whom I recognized - Mr. Roger Gates, of Clinton. He stepped to our table to say "Hello" to me and I introduced him to the Barnes. Mrs. Barnes took one look at him and said,
"Roger Gates of Waterville?" and he said,
"Yes." whereupon her face lit up with an enormous smile and she said,
"Do you remember me? I used to be your Sunday morning baby-sitter when you were little! I'd go to the Episcopal church and walk you and your brothers and sisters home."
"Yes! Yes!" said Roger, continuing --
"And you always made peanut butter and butter sandwiches for me!"

(No echinacea needed there!)

This week's Wednesday night
Band Concert in the Park
will feature
Al Nathan and Blue Streak.

Something for "star gazers" to remember: mark your calendar - now! - so you won't miss the Perseids meteor shower which will take place this year on August 12th. Given a clear night, viewing is always grand anywhere in Hanover or at the top of Lewis Road!
