Saturday

49 degrees!




But - finally! - the rain has stopped and, after a chilly start to Field Days, today's forecast is great!

That's good news, too, for those attending their twentieth highschool Reunion or for those who are going to a special wedding, today.

**********
  • Saturday: Partly to mostly sunny. Nice! High: 76, Low: 51
  • Sunday: A mix of sun and clouds. Still nice. High: 79, Low: 55

Driving up Post Street from Franklin Springs, yesterday, I passed field after field of tasseled corn: it's Summer!

On the other hand - Rose Hips on bushes along Frog Park Road are already turning red: they're rushing the season, I think.

In country woods and flowerbeds, too, Beebalm blooms. Sometimes called Bergomot (because it smells somewhat like a Bergomot Orange) or "Oswego Tea," early colonists, taking a cue from Native Americans, drank a hot beverage made from the leaves of this plant in protest to the British tax on tea!
