At Home in the Huddle 2013

It's Recycling Day

28 degrees and dry at 5:30 a.m.

The Weather Forecast from YNN: 
"Flurries/Showers Today, A Bit Unsettled Through Friday

We have a few scattered rain/snow showers around along with breezy conditions. Temperatures are expected to be below average once again, topping out in the 40s.
An area of low pressure centered well off to the north and east will provide us with just enough moisture to keep the overall weather pattern unsettled for the remainder of the work week. Scattered rain/snow showers Thursday will become more isolated throughout the day with highs in the low 40s. A few rain/snow showers stay in the forecast Friday as well as those below average temperatures.
High pressure regains control by Saturday allowing for more sun and drier weather. Out ahead of an approaching cold front, temperatures look to be more seasonable with highs closer to 50 degrees on Easter Sunday."

The fields in Hanover are nearly bare - again.

Roads are bare, too, and the Marshall Highway Department has been filling in potholes! (Thank You!)

Surprise!  I slowed down to see if the pair of Canada Geese had returned to the small pond beyond Jack Prior's home on Madison Street and, instead of Geese, saw one, two... yes: THREE Great Blue Heron! (I just couldn't get a clear view of the third, but it was there!)

IN THE MAIL

 "Thank You!" 

 - from Vicky Sabol on behalf of the Food Pantry 

"to the many community organizations who support the Food Pantry throughout the year.  Through their generosity we are able to serve families in Waterville, Deansboro, Oriskany Falls, and North Brookfield.  

In January we served: 44 households and 

in February it was 31.   

Translated into meals,  this was 1224 and 1365 respectively.  

As a reminder, we are located in the rear of the Schoolhouse Apartments and are open from 3 to 4:30 on Mondays, unless a federal holiday.  We serve anyone in need.

If you would like to donate ....

"  -  we always need the usual staples, but also appreciate toiletries such as shampoo, toothpaste and brushes, shampoo, as well as dish soap, toilet paper.  Monetary gifts help us stretch our buying power by purchasing from the Food Bank of Central New York.  

"Products can be brought to the food pantry during our open hours.  

Checks made out to the Waterville Food Pantry can be mailed to our treasurer, Susan Edkins, 390 Tower St. or Vicki Sabol, 235 Osborne Ave. "

A (very lucky) blog reader who just received this Sterling Silver spoon as a gift wonders if anyone has ever seen another like it or knows where it was made and when.

(No: it is not from Waterville, Maine, and no - it is not for sale!)
