Thursday morning - correction and add-on

It's Garbage Day!

55.4 degrees, and warming up!


There is some rain in the forecast, but we do need it.


A cloud of dust followed a tractor in a field out on Madison Street.


A few showers would be nice - we just don't want any on Monday Morning between 9:00 and 10:00, during the Memorial Day Parade and Exercises. I have not been told the parade route, but I have heard that last evening the entire Marching Band and Color Guard turned out for a photo op and rehearsal resplendant in their brand new uniforms!

You'll see them on Monday!

***********
In this morning's O-D: Local Graduates Christine Campbell, daughter of Joel and Mary Campbell, received her Doctor (not Masters) of Physical Therapy degree from Duke University.

New on West Main Street: four invitingly-umbrellaed tables in front of "Michael's"!



Now blooming on White Street and in many other locations around the village, "Bleeding Heart" - Dicentra spectabilis.


Also on White Street - rocks and phlox!

********

Missing from Putnam Street - a tree planted around twenty years ago by the then-children of the street as a tangible reminder of their affection for "Uncle Charles" Brainard.

I didn't realize, when I saw this photograph of Emily Plourde, that her prom dress had been made of Duct Tape! Her date, Kyle Nasypany, had constructed his red and black tuxedo of the same material, and they'll be entering a national contest with the hope of winning scholarships.
