Tuesday

NOW it's Garbage Day!

It's 40 degrees and wet, but the forecast for this afternoon looks fine, indeed!

• Tuesday: Decreasing clouds and turning partly sunny. Pleasantly mild. High in the mid 50s.
• Tuesday night: Partly cloudy and cool. Low in the low 30s.

• Wednesday: Mostly cloudy with rain arriving later. High: 56, Low: 40

On a very gray day, a very bright glow suddenly appeared in the middle of the Village!
The shopping carts have arrived: can the Sales be far behind?

You wouldn't guess it from looking at these window boxes of pansies on Sanger Avenue,
but yesterday was really quite chilly, and there are signs of the season throughout the Village.

The DPW has set out all 124 (or is it 142?) barrels;

stacks of cord wood grow longer and taller at Red Mack's

and the Freibels'.

(A "Cord" is defined as a woodpile 4' wide x 4 foot high x 8 feet long. A "rick" or "rack" or "face cord" is the amount of firewood stacked by 4' by 8' by one row of the length of the stick.)

Margie was raking .........

and the Tamaracks (or Larches) in "state land" forests down on Beaver Creek Road are turning yellow.

There were quite a few Canada Geese on the big pond. Brian Staring wrote to me, a few weeks ago, and said that many years ago his Granfather Lallier (that would be Lovina's father) had owned the pond and surrounding land. He had wanted to develop it into a camping area but that "the state" put a stop to it saying that "if the dam gave out it would flood Brookfield!"

I have no idea what incident created this
"event", but I'm quite sure that it wasn't coincidental or social!

Drive Safely!

and have a great day!
