Special Request!

It's Thursday morning.

I received the following E-note, yesterday, from Gary Orendorff, the President of the Board of Directors for WAVAC - the Waterville Area Volunteer Ambulance Corps.

"We are in Dire need of EMT`S and DRIVERS to cover the day time hours (7:00am Till 5:00pm ).

Could you get the word out in your Blog and in your column in the Waterville Times ?

For more information on helping Wavac out they can call me any time on my cell (315) 750-0714.

We all need WAVAC, and now WAVAC needs us. Let's not let them down!

The DPW has placed several of our Park Benches where they look particularly inviting and I noticed that the "barrels" are out, waiting for the Garden Club's attention.




The Garden Club's Annual Plant Sale

Tulips are at their best - these are at Kathy Manion's on Madison Street .........

........ and Redbuds are blooming.

There's a big, old-fashioned magnolia next to the Sweeney residence on White Street,



... and, if you can manage to slow down and you look very hard, you'll see a few clumps of Wild Columbine blooming in the rocks just to the Forge Hollow side of "the Caves."








Is this a new "construction site?" The water level in the little pond on Madison Street is higher than normal, and it looks - at least from the roadside - as if there's a reason for it!

I think that this sign was in Morgan's window on Tuesday morning.
