According to the meteorologist at WKTV, yesterday was the fifth Tuesday in a row that it rained!

No pedestrians, joggers, cyclists or skateboarders in sight...

............... but all of Pat's flowers next to the old Methodist church on S. Babbott Avenue are thriving and the early roses and several varieties of Clematis are in full bloom.

Out in the countryside, on Fuess-Cleary Road, John Ogden's favorite cornfield is thriving.

Refreshments will be available and the proceeds of the concession stand sales are being donated by the Mt.

Our hats are off to Mt. Markham for this extremely gracious gesture."
