Friday - more pix

SPECIAL NOTE

The WCS Girls' Varsity Soccer Game in Cortland will take place at

3:30
on

SATURDAY.


************

It's 29.8 degrees and "good sleeping weather!"


I had a problem with "Blogspot," earlier, but I think it's fixed!



  • Today: Mostly sunny. High 55.
  • Tonight. Clear. Low 25-30.
  • Saturday: Partly sunny. High in the mid to upper 50's.
  • Sunday: Partly sunny. High in the upper 40's.


I rode all over he village, yesterday, and this was the ONLY Hallowe'en Casualty that I saw! (Smack into the tree, she flew, her trusty bloom left lying on the ground!) But there were no injured pumpkins, fluttering lengths of toilet paper or broken eggs anywhere! Amazing!!


I received this great photograph of four of their grandchildren from John and Ann Cockell.

(No: they don't live around here! Is it surprising to see that youngsters in England also like to dress up on Hallowe'en?)

John and/or Ann wrote: "Have just seen the latest Blog with Halloween pictures and thought you might like to see the photograph of four of my grandsons dressed up to frighten the neighbours. They age from 7 years down to 2 years and managed to get lots of treats.

We don't get as many "callers" in the UK as you seem to get in Waterville. I phoned Wendy Sexton my cousin last evening and had to cut the call short as she had to keep answering the door to Halloween callers - which sounded great fun from this end."

(Thank you both for writing and sending that grand picture of the grandkids!)

There's a new view in the Historic Triangle!


The old barn behind Kloster-Northrop & Bentz must have been built very early in the 1800's.


This may be the next casualty of Time.

(I added the red "plumbline.")

Pat and Barb have finished painting spindles and trim and now may move on to windows!

News from Amy at ACCESS -

We have a winner!!

Who Done It??

"It was Miss Peacock, in the Ballroom, with the Candlestick.
Our branch in Camden won with a fairy tale theme. It was quite good. We had a lot of fun though... and that's what it's all about.

We would like to thank everybody for their Halloween spirit and for playing the game "Clue" with us. Everybody who has played the game can come in and grab an Access t-shirt for free."


Be watching as the "Winged Euonymus" shrubs turn bright red.

They're usually smallish bushes, but this beauty is on Rt. 315 near Deansboro.


This is where the name "winged" comes from.


Beech trees in Forge Hollow.


The leaves on the ornamental Pear Trees on Main Street are just starting to turn!
