HERE AND THERE

HERE AND THERE
There are two pretty, new flags on East Main Street.......
.......... but the wind was determined to keep me from taking proper pictures of them.
Wind Chimes and more Wind Chimes on White Street:
and the wind was just what they wanted!
This is only a small portion of the border - filled with tulips, hyacinths and ground phlox - in front of the Timlake-Tilbe residence.
This was just a tiny shrub when it was planted next to Grace Church in memory of John Zweifel, a long-time sexton at the church.
Springtime view in the Park. The flowering Crab Apple Tree was planted by members of the Tower Foundation in memory of Mildred "Billie" Woodman.

The following is excerpted from "In Timely Manner," a column published in the Waterville Times.*******

Yes - everything IS early this year, and even more so in Deansboro and Clinton because, as anyone who has ever ridden their bicycle uphill all the way from Deansboro can tell you, Waterville's elevation is noticeably higher - and the air that much colder - than either of those communities.
You can see for yourself, without having to get your bike out, by going to TopoQuest:
Waterville - 1,237 ft. above sea level.
Deansboro - 795'
Clinton - 600'

May is getting to be just as busy as December.
It's time for me to give you next month's calendars, isn't it?
That will happen later today or tomorrow!
Have a good weekend, everyone!
