It's Recyclable Collection Day
37 degrees and gray at 7:30 a.m.
The TWCNY Weather Forecast:
"Chilly Today, Big Warmup Coming!
As an area of low pressure continues to pull away to the north and east, we'll be able to tap into drier conditions todaywith more in the way of sun. However, temperatures will be running a good 10 degrees below average with highs between 40 and 45.
Luckily, this chilly air mass isn't expected to stay in place for too long and temperatures should recover into the low 60s on Thursday under a partly sunny sky.
Wet weather returns to the forecast heading into Thursday night as a cold front works through but showers look to pull away from us on Friday. In the wake of this front, temperatures will still end up at or above average with highs in the 50s/near 60 degrees right through the weekend."

Here & There
Blog readers who have spent the Winter in places where there are always leaves on trees and the grass is always green may have a hard time appreciating the beauty that we , here in Waterville, find in scenes like these, in which the colors are mostly muddy, grungy brown but look wonderful to us because - there's almost no snow!
Looking ESE toward Tassell Hill from Hanover....
.... and WSW, to the icicle-clad quarry north of Oriskany Falls and the hilltop windmills beyond Solsville.
*****
Cleanup has continued, in the Village, and now it looks as if the street sweeper has been along West Bacon Street.
No small project: wintertime covers have been removed from all 96 hydrants.

New decorations: the Easter Bunny at Joan Albert's ......

Waiting for ......

Should the CDC be notified?
From what I can gather, more and more area residents are showing signs of seasonal Springtime maladies whose primary symptoms are a feverish eagerness to clean houses and grounds, to buy new sneakers and (in some cases) bright lycra outfits and add an hour or two of outdoor exercise to their daily routines, or to even abandon all regular routines and simply pack their suitcases and seek "treatment" by leaving cabin and community for a week or so!
My personal form of "self-medication" has been the acquisition of a new iPhone - and I love it! (Just think - at MY rapidly advancing age I can even "text"!)
Although I used the iPhone to take the pictures for today's blog post I will not be throwing away my old Olympus Camadia because, although the phone shots are good, the process of getting iPhone photos through my computer and onto the blog is much more time-consuming. Fun for other pictures, 'tho!

I'll post a small before-vacation wrap-up tomorrow.
Is there anything that I've forgotten or that you want to add? Remember: I won't be back until the day that WCS classes resume - April 22.
