T.G.I.F.

It was another beautifully sunny day - perfect, really, unless you happened to be a member of one of the construction crews working on Main Street and Sanger Avenue.



Most all of us empathize with the flagpersons - men and women - who keep villagers and tourists from either running into or being run over by the very LARGE pieces of paving equipment. We did see one small red car venture out of the prescribed lane in front of the post office, this morning, and end up nose to toes with the giant "steam roller." Everything came to a screeching halt, of course, and if ever there was an embarrassed motorist, judging by the fact that the driver's face turned the same color as his/her vehicle, he/she was "it!" (You see - we make an politic effort not to suggest that it was a man, or a woman, who could - or would - not follow directions!)

By late afternoon, the pavement on Main Street was almost all at the same level and almost completely SMOOTH and paving had progressed nearly to Monument Park.

Curbing installation on the East side of Sanger Avenue had nearly reached Don Olmstead's Garage and it looked as if preparations were beginning for the paving of the sidewalk along that stretch.



One of the two entrance/exit lanes to the Green Acres Plaza was still closed and a great many people were taking the "scenic route" from the new Library to Fireman's Field. We had heard, yesterday, that some improvements were to be made to that roadway, today, but that did not come to pass.



Babbott Avenue South does not usually have much traffic, but that little street - in that it provides the only access to the "scenic country tour" - is quite heavily travelled and, if motorists are inconvenienced by the length of the route, they are at least rewaded by the sightly flowers in Mrs. Howard's gardens.



One of the spiffiest properties in the village is the Municipal Hall, on Stafford Avenue South, and we wonder and wait, and wait..... for the garden and other landscaping to begin at the new Library!


Outside of the village, Mother Nature is taking care of the scenery quite nicely and fields of wildflowers are nearly at their most perfect. Of this we are certain: we took the day off, just to make sure!
