It's Garbage Day.
61 degrees and overcast at 5:00 a.m.
The Weather Forecast from TWCNY:
"Mainly Dry and Unseasonably Warm This Week!Tonight will be mild and tranquil under a partly cloudy sky. Lows will drop into the low to mid 60s.
The weakening cool front that brought more clouds to the area Sunday and even a spotty shower or two, will be washing out to the south of us Monday, which MAY trigger a spotty shower/storm mainly south of the thruway Monday afternoon. Most of us, if not all, on Monday, though will be dry with some sun for all. Highs will be in the mid 80s, and it will be muggy. High pressure that will be reestablishing itself over the Northeast Monday will stick around through much of the week ahead with just a weak backdoor cool front possibly triggering a few spotty showers and storms Thursday and Friday. Highs this upcoming week will range from about 85 to 90 each and everyday, with the warmest days likely being Tuesday and Wednesday when we will be up near 90°.
At this early juncture it appears that the unseasonable warmth will stick around right through Labor Day weekend too! Stay tuned for updates!"

Here & There
Saturday afternoon.
It's been fine weather for painting. Some scraping and priming has been in progress at the Conway residence on White Street ....
... and, right next door, two of the tenants showed off their work on the newly-painted pillars.
"Fresh Picked" was busy ....
.... and about two-dozen members of a three-wheeled motorcycle club stopped at "Roc's" for a tasty break.
The Hughes Farm Stand on Route 12B just south of Deansboro ...
... and the Landis Family stand on Shanley Road both offer the best of Summer's Bounty.

There's no doubt about it, though - the seasons are changing .....
...... and Hydrangeas in St. Bernard's Cemetery (above) and at Mike and Pat Rogers' home are "blushing."
....... and picking is in progress at the Forward Farm on Water Street, too.
You can see from these two photographs, taken by Jeff Reynolds (a.k.a. "the flying librarian,") that immense quantities of green beans have recently been harvested from the enormous fields just behind the Waterville Public Library (above) ....
... and next to the playing fields at the Waterville Jr.-Sr. High School.
(Thanks for the great photos, Jeff!)
****************
The Black Walnut saplings in the plantation north of Tower Street have been pruned ....
........... giving glimpses of the historic stone barn that was built by Ruben Tower in the late 1800s to replace a wooden structure that had burned a few years earlier, in 1885.
Neither view - from either Tower Street or Huntington Place - gives any indication of just how large the entire Walnut Plantation really is, but this image from Google Maps does!
It's just about three-quarters of a mile from Tower Street to the northernmost end of the area.
That's a LOT of walnut trees!
