JEFF REYNOLDS!

The Weather Forecast from TWCNY:

"Quiet Start to Work Week, Cool and Bright.High pressure is here with lots of sun for the next couple of days and highs in the 40s and 50s today and into the 50s Tuesday.
Highs will likely jump into the low 60s Wednesday thanks to a gusty southerly wind, but it will be quite wet with some rain expected from the remnants of Patricia. 
It will turn much colder by the end of the week with a little rain and snow possibly in the air for Friday.  The early outlook for Halloween currently is not too spooky for the ghosts and goblins with some sun and highs near 50."

Over the weekend, they learned!



The details of the two new windows match those of the buildings on each side.

If you're walking by and peek in the window you'll see that the original brick walls of what will be the conference room and reception area have been left exposed.

What will come next?  The door, perhaps?

Here are excerpts from a





On Saturday, the subject of "Croquet" became very relevant 
and by Springtime your knowledge of the game (or sport) will be of even more importance because .... 


After several weeks of grading and leveling,  new sod was laid on Saturday and by Sunday morning, following a good, soaking rain, this is what the new Croquet Court next to the Waterville Public Library looked like!
