Sunshine with  variable breezes that will become light NW winds today.  It's 58 degrees now, today's high 78, tonight's low 55.  Tomorrow eveningShowers Tuesday, a SSE wind, high 77, low 64.  Thunderstorms Wednesday, a brisk WSW breeze, high 79, low 60.Partly cloudy Thursday through next Monday, highs in the low eights, lows about 60.  Weatery breezes.   and overnight rain seems to have become just a few overnight showers.  Good for Bradford Days but the gardens and second crop of hay liked yesterday's wetter forecast.   Tomorrow's high 73 with a strong south breeze,  The low 64.  Partly cloudy Sunday with a WNW wind, high 74, low 55.  Sunshine Monday, a west breeze, high 80, low 57.  some showers the 28th, 29th and 30th, highs about 70, lows about 80.

   Late yesterday was  pleasant  working outside,  I had breakfast at my sister's in Dover and came home through Corinth to do some errands.  As I left Corinth wind and rain were moving in.   After I went by the wind broke a large branch off a tree.  It went through a lady's windshield, killing her instantly.  The two children with her were not seriously injured.  The limb also tore down power lines causing problems for the first responders.  North Bradford got a few drops of rain.

   I transplanted some volunteer sunflowers to the sunflower patch in front of the barn.  I watered them when I planted them, without tomorrow's rain I'll have to keep watering them.  I planted them thick because I'm not sure how well they'll take.  If I left them they would crowd my perennials out but I didn't want to just toss them on the compost pile.

   More weeding and watering today, perfect weather for it.  May your day be blessed, Sally
