Wednesday morning

Recycleables Day!
********************

It's just about 70 degrees and gray - "lowry" or "loury."

WKTV predicts:
  • Some morning sun, followed by widespread afternoon showers and storms. Some of these storms could produce some gusty winds and small hail. High 83
  • Tomorrow night: Rain, tapering to showers. Much cooler. Low 55
  • Thursday: Partly sunny. High 76 Low 55


Let's hope that there's a break in the weather

- like from 1 o'clock 'til 7 - when the

Farmers Market

will be in the Park!

Yesterday, Bill Vetter and his crew were working on Mrs. Zambri's Sanger Avenue home.

Other than that, it seemed very quiet around the village!


Esther Swarthout must have taken just one look at David O'Dowd's photograph of the bright blue Alpine flower: she wrote immediately to say, "Yes, it is gentian--also called 'Enzian' there." (Thank You!)

Now, perhaps, someone can tell me which of these grains is which!

(It's embarrassing: I've lived here for nearly forty years and I should be able to tell the difference, but I don't!)

I think that the pale blue-green type, shown above, is OATS: is that right?


And this certainly is WHEAT - but is it just plain "wheat" or is it BARLEY or RYE?

And how do you tell which is which?


Potatoes - yes?

Tomorrow: CATTLE!

Both the Yankees and the Redsox had a hand in helping the American League win last night's All-Star game 5-4 over the National League. There are no games scheduled for tonight, but regular play resumes tomorrow.
