Sunday afternoon for Monday



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

Monday is Garbage Day

The TWCNY Weather Forecast as of Sunday afternoon:

"Mild and Mainly Dry Tonight, Hot and Humid Weather Ahead.


Tonight will be mainly quiet with a spotty shower or two possible with lows in the low 60s, as a warm front and a little trough move in late.  On Monday, the warm front with a little trough/disturbance will slide through with a few scattered showers/storm, but there should be a good amount of dry time.  Highs to begin the week will make the low to mid 80s, with much higher humidity levels moving in.  In the wake of the warm front, the summery heat and humidity will be with us in full force, as highs will likely be in the low 90s Tuesday and Wednesday with just a spotty shower/storm or two Tuesday.  More numerous showers and storms will develop later Wednesday ahead and with a strong cold front, and any storms that do develop midweek could turn nasty.

Sunday Ride



On West Bacon Street, the former "blue house" will now be 
"the gray house," and it looks very nice.


Planning ahead.


Remembering that barely two weeks ago corn was a little over "knee high," now it's shoulder high, if not more.


Hop Vines at the Mosher Farm on Route 46, a bit south of Route 20, are way up to the top wires - and way ahead of many local vines.


Fields of Potatoes are in full bloom ......



..................... and it occurred to me that I could make quite a pretty bouquet if I mixed a few stems of those .................



............  with some delicate Buckwheat blossoms ..............




........  and a good splash of yellow from Tomato plants ......



..............  and  Squash Vine ......



............... with a couple of showy Onion blossoms........

but I didn't!

FOR THE RECORD




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


I don't think that I'm addicted to Facebook, but quite often I do find bits of wisdom (?) that apply to me.

Like this ....... 



  .......  Or that I find really clever and amusing.



Nearly every announcement that is sent to me for publication on the blog has some sort of typographical / spelling or grammatical error.

I have all I can do to proofread my own writing - please don't expect me to take care of yours, too.

******

Because I know that I overuse the exclamation point key way too often, I'm going to take the following advice to heart!

(Oooops:  "heart - period"

It's really, truly Summer - enjoy it all!

(Well - one "!" can't hurt.)
