Yet in the past week we’ve had really hot weather, we’ve had rain, hail, thunderstorms and windy days. Today hovered in the 60s (fahrenheit) with some rain. The rainy period started off with grey skies. I sat on the porch for a few minutes of it and while there, the sun came blazing out for just a short time and the rain kept on.
These are a few photos I’ve taken recently. No rhyme or reason to them. They just caught my eye.
The DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation has responsibility for mowing along the river. The budget must have been cut because they let the grass grow several feet high before sending out the mowers.
Not too far from home, at the corner of Hillvue Avenue, these roses charm me every year. Well, not these exact same ones; these are the descendants of last year’s roses.
Definitely windy enough and warm enough to hang out clothes to dry. Clothespins waiting.

Only four photos, you ask? All right, let’s see a few from the end of May...
Like, the log cabin at the Benjamin Patterson Inn with apple trees in front.
Look at the gorgeous bushes. Yes, that’s a house hiding behind them.
Corning Natural Gas at the end of West William Street.
Last but not least, vendors tents set up on Market Street for a recent (annual) GlassFest.

I didn't attend the 2012 Glass Fest. Looking back, I was surprised to see that I devoted three blog posts to the event in 2011...

Hi CCU, thanks for stopping by. The weather is settling, 60s and 70s and sunny, occasional rains. I like the lower temperatures. Makes walking much more comfortable.
DeleteI continue to enjoy strolling through Corning with you! Even though I live in Hhds, Corning seems like home. I agree - what's with this weather? It's been confused for months now! Greetings, and wishes for a happy today!!
