61 degrees.

It's Garbage Day!

• Thursday: Hazy, hot and humid. There could be an afternoon thunderstorm, especially west of Utica, but most areas will remain dry. High in the upper 80s to perhaps low 90s in spots.
• Thursday night: Partly cloudy and humid. Patchy fog. Low in the mid 60s.
• Friday: Hazy, hot and humid with scattered afternoon storms, more numerous than the previous two days. High: 87, Low: 66

There will be lots to do around here, this weekend: the O-D sums it up! A WKTV story describes the opening of another section of the Canalway Bike Trail. For maps and more information, click this Canalway Trails link.

The first picture that I took yesterday was of the new "Home Shoppe" sign on Buell Avenue .....

... and the next was of THIS sign in the former Scerbo building!

A smaller sign reads "Now Hiring" and instructs those looking for employment to go to
the Subway website.

More noisy, traffic-slowing fixing and fussing went on on Buell Avenue and Rt. 315, yesterday, with topsoil being smoothed onto the newly graded shoulders.

Later, in the Park, the "flower lady" fussed over her wares .....

Lynn Curtis was manning Main Sreet Liquors' tent .......

"Serendipity" offered sweets ........


..... and vendor Dot McConnell was enjoying the day!

Just as I got in my car to leave the Farmer's Market, I spotted Don Brown working on his front porch and turned my camera on, again. But then I saw this fellow (above) and he saw me and even waved!

Elsewhere:

the first sign of Cardinal Flower on Loomis Road!

On Sally Road, between Hanover and Fuess-Cleary, there are lots of sunflowers blooming along the edge of - and even inside - a corn field!

I'll leave you with this gorgeous picture of Niagara Falls to look at. It was sent to me by Val Schenk, who spent last weekend playing tourist with her husband at Niagara-on-the-Lake.

And here's a small rumor -- remember: it's just a RUMOR! -- that "Macs" might reopen soon as a typical "diner!"
