Fred went through Danville this morning and got a couple of pictures showing some of the finished road work - through rain drops.  The top picture shows two "islands" in front of  the Diamond Hill store.  Fred was in the right lane, heading east.  It would seem that the road at this point is somewhat wider than it used to be and probably cuts into the Green a little to allow for the two lanes, two islands and still have space in front of the store.  It's all designed to slow traffic, we're told.


This picture is Danville Restaurant, and you can see that the road and sidewalk look pretty much finished - the lawn in front of the restaurant has been reseeded, and things are looking fairly normal again.  All good news to Danville businesses and to all the folks who routinely have to travel through Danville to get where they're going.

It rained pretty steadily most of the morning, but tapered off this afternoon and now the sun is shining bright as can be and there's a nice breeze coming out of the west.  It's still very humid, but having the sun out really cheers us all up.  Looking at the long-range forecast, it seems that next week may see some improvement.  We can only hope.  If the weather clears enough, Joe's Pond fireworks will be on Wednesday, July 3rd with a rain date of July 5th.  We also hope the daytime weather will be rain free on the Fourth - it would be too bad for the parades, BBQs, picnics and other activities to get rained on.
