Hey Neighbors!
What a chilly Labor Day weekend with night time temperatures dipping into the 40s. The slightly cooler temps made for less mosquitos which was a huge positive with nearly 20 West Nile virus cases reported across New York State.
The temperatures will remain on the cooler side with some rain expected over the weekend. We will visit the 40s again at night so be sure to pick your garden!
Happy Back to School for all students and parents this past week, especially to the staff of Sharon Springs Central School! Wishing everyone a successful school year! Remember, that also means school buses are back on the road again so please use caution at bus stops.
Big Happy Birthday to my husband Aaron Pencar!
Big Congrats to newlyweds Jerry & Marlena Olsen who tied the knot with family and friends on Saturday August 31st at Fusion Church in Cobleskill.
