East Bay Yard Sale is on this Friday and Saturday from 9 am to 2 pm, so we'll join them on Friday 12 noon to 4 pm and Saturday 12 noon to 6 pm. We are planning on setting our items up on the picnic table on Saturday, perhaps starting our sale between 10 and 11 am. Bring your family and friends for a treasure hunt and stop in for a wine tasting or a glass of wine to take a break! Looking forward to your visit to our neighborhood!

This is called a shelf cloud that forms just ahead of the gusty winds and downpours from the approaching storm. Now it's going through and temps have dropped by 10 degrees!

Venus and Jupiter are coming apart a little bit but are still making a beautiful scene after sunset. Mercury was visible to my eye but did not show up in this photo. Enlarge it to find Castor and Pollux, the brightest stars in Gemini to the right of the planets. The heat is gone and the cool evening breeze is so comfortable with the sounds of the Lake...

Here we are, Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, and Gemini the Twins all together in the western sky this evening! I hope you had a moment to spend time with them. If not, we'll have another chance tomorrow night. So don't forget!

Jupiter and Venus conjunction! They will be closest to each other tonight, Monday 08 June, and tomorrow night in the constellation Gemini the Twins. The bright planets make the Twins, Castor and Pollux, into Quartets, or Quintets if you include Mercury a bit lower in Gemini. They will be visible shortly after sunset, around 8:45 pm, but will remain in the northwestern sky until they set after 11 pm. They are pretty in the twilight but will be more spectacular once the sky gets darker, say after 9:30 pm. The weather appears to cooperate with us here in Upstate New York, so get out and look toward northwest. Enjoy the beautiful sight!

A Robin in a pear tree! -- Yes, here is another sign of the season up here in Upstate New York. Robins are nesting in my Bartlett pear tree and Mama has been diligently protecting their nest. I'll keep you posted how their child rearing will pan out!

While it remains on the cooler side, the month of May is coming to a close. There are a lot to look forward to in June, and here are a few preludes to the beginning of a new month!

The first blossoms of the Beach Rose and Iris! The sun is high and so bright, but the cold Lake water keeps it in the 50s here. Along with the Lily-of-the-Valley that started to bloom a little earlier, it's so fragrant and delightful here in this early summer season!
