But here's the forecast we're interested in:

"Field Days" are coming!

By yesterday morning, a dozen or more vehicles and conveyances made a circle around Firemen's Field and a couple of rides were all set up - just waiting for Friday evening.

There's a full schedule of events in this week's issue of The Waterville Times.

News of this (below) and excitement spread fast, and there was "gridlock" up North of Paris Green at Savicki's ....


...... where a small sign that read "SWEET CORN" was a magnet to motorists.

(And the corn was GOOD!)

Coming back through Hanover, I stopped to say "hello" to a watercolorist who was standing in the old cemetery looking towards my Summertime favorite view: the Zweifel Farm. Diane Hadfield is a student in a MWPAI Workshop taught by Annette Gurdo, of Waterville, a full-time member of the faculty at the Art Institute.

On yet another country road I stopped to admire a field of grain - I still can't tell them all apart - but frowned, instead: what IS this? Not a beautiful sight, after all.

This house at 128 Osborn Avenue is looking better and better!

WKTV has a website sory about a story in the August issue of the Reader's Digest which spotlights Utica as the "Second Chance City".

And that's what the Yankees are looking for!



Have a good day!
