It's 32 degrees on the nose and, according to the O-D, we can expect "more blue skies, sunshine and temeratures in the low 70s for the next few days!"
with a caution that, once again, there's fear of flooding in Herkimer County.

Yesterday was Magnificent!
It was hard to believe that just last Monday there was a 13" frosting of snow on the picnic tables at "Roc's!"
If you're walking on Babbott Avenue, peer through the fence on the East side, overlooking the creek, and you'll spot a bright patch of Blue Scillas (Scilla siberica)! Watch for more on lawns throughout the village, especially at the Burbacks' on Sanger Avenue where it will soon look as if buckets of blue paint had splashed all over their side lawn.
The first Hepaticas have bloomed in the Fuess-Cleary Road woods.
In many areas, this little plant is called "Liverwort."

I've received a note from Audrey Welch, in Florida, who writes:
My husband Robert Welch, went to school in Waterville with Shirley Hart. That will give you a guess as to our age. We still have family and friends in the area. I've said all of this, so that you would remember us. and so I could tell you about the newest addition to our family. Our Granddaughter Elizabeth Camp Lutke just gave us our 7th great grandchild on Monday 4/16.(not all her children). Grace Elizabeth joins big brother Caleb on his second birthday. The proud father is Jake Lutke, an esteemed teacher in your area.
We have another in the basket due out in early June to Elizabeth's sister, Laura Camp Snyder.
We do enjoy your news. I wish we could send you some of our nice weather.
