It's Recyclables Day

39 degrees and partly clear at 7:45.


WKTV's Weather Forecast: "Morning lake effect rain gives way to breaks of sunshine this afternoon. Highs in the mid to upper 50s.  Another cold front arrives on Friday, bringing windy weather and a round of light rain, perhaps ending as a few hilltop flakes.  High only near 50.  A widespread freeze is possible Friday night.
A massive area of high pressure builds in on Saturday, bringing our first sunny weekend day of the month.  Highs in the upper 50s.  Sunshine giving way to clouds and showers on Sunday."


SPECIAL TREATS!

Jody had recently taken his camera out into his own garden.
