If there's anything to the saying that "an apple a day keeps the doctor away!" then we should all be in fine shape, this Winter. According to WKTV, apple-growers expect an outstanding crop.

You can Hike Trenton Falls, this weekend, and the O-D tell you when and where.

Expect to spend about ten minutes waiting in line on Route 315.

It may be a cloudy day, but Pat's Trumpet Trees on Babbott Avenue South aren't dull!


She says that they've taken a beating in storms, but they're still pretty wonderful!


- and her Trumpet Vine is blooming brightly, too!


Down on Loomis Road there seems to be more Cardinal Flower blooming than in past years. I suspect that that is because the Township "ditched" between them and the road leaving the plants quite safely out of reach!

But - Oh, No! Goldenrod? So soon? It must be an "early variety!"

The O-D headline -"Anti-wind group in Jordanville hires attorney" - reminded me to tell you how to find "Windmill Heaven," if you are one of the ones who, like me, find them fascinating. The "Maple Ridge" wind farm is located west of Lowville. Follow route 12 to Lowville; watch for a "Stewart's," a little way past McDonald's, and take the left-hand turn, there, onto Stowe Road. As the gal at Stewart's told me, "You just go straight. Go through a STOP sign and just keep going, and pretty soon you-all'll be in Win'mill Heaven!" It's about three miles, and really is something to see. We got excited over seven towers? Here you can see about two-hundred!


Counting tourists, probably.

"Say Cheese!"
