With slightly lower high temperatures and the cloud cover of storms rolling in, the end of the week is cooler. But the Thursday night low/Friday morning temperature was still far different from the snow just a few weeks ago for Mother's Day. 

While the view is different this year (for the time being), the benches and flower pots are back at Babbott Park. This also makes it an ideal walking area for those looking to get out on smooth walking terrain with the possibility of breaks. Please note, the bathrooms remain closed for now.

The blossoming trees along Main St. are the perfect addition to the recently placed planters.

Wednesday evening, the school parking lot was filled with vehicles meeting up to spread some cheer.

 The Sports Boosters were on their way to honor all of the Spring Sport Seniors at their homes see video above.
While the Waterville Area Birthday train gathered for their next Drive-Thru Birthday wishes, with plenty of honking and singing.

The Waterville Area Birthday Train is chugging through the last week of formal Birthday Trains after almost 3 months of celebrating local birthdays! But you're not too late!

While you can find plenty of fairy gardens popping up throughout the village, you can also escape for a trail walk along the Kirkland Trail that now connects at the Marshall Barn (across the street from the Marshall Towpath on Route 315) and runs a 2 mile stretch to Dugway Rd in Kirkland. The connection of the trail systems will provide a great stretch for locals to get out and enjoy.
