Today is Earth Day


It's 55 degrees and overcast at 6:30


The TWCNY Weather Forecast:

"Showers/Storm Develop, Cooler Mid Week

Today we'll see showers and few storms develop as a cold front works through which will be accompanied by breezy conditions and highs in the 50s/60s. The more organized shower activity associated with the front will taper from west to east late in the day and temperatures for many are expected to fall through the afternoon.

Lingering moisture will keep a few rain/wet snow showers in the forecast on Wednesday and it will be cooler with highs only in the upper 40s/near 50 degrees.

 Dry weather returns by Thursday and temperatures should warm toward the end of the week with highs in the middle and upper 60s Friday."

During vacation wonderful things happened!

Of course there was that one depressing morning when we all awoke to find that it had snowed, but other than that .......

Spring is definitely here!



Daffodils and crocuses are all in bloom .....



........  as are little Hepaticas in the woods .....


... and the soil has been tilled in many fields.

All of the joggers and runners that I've seen in the past week have been wearing brightly-colored running shoes except for  this gentleman - running on Gridley-Paige Road - who is (yes!) barefoot!
Curiosity overcame polite driving protocol one day and I stopped to say (rather foolishly) "You're running barefoot!"  He said (with huge grin) "Yes! it feels good!" I said something about being "just like a little kid" and he replied, "That's what I feel like!"

******************

Have a great day everyone!
