The Dog Days of summer have arrived with weather prognostications daily reporting the threat of scattered thunderstorms.  The storms seem to be scattered somewhere else.

That is good for Monday Night Movies on the Great Lawn which are now a regular draw.  Last night the movie was Ghostbusters with Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Sigourney Weaver in the comedic hunt for the paranormal.

With sunset at 8:17 p.m. and the grass on the Great Lawn as dry as a Fuller Brush, village residents and friends settled into lawn chairs for the fifth straight Monday Night Movie.  Some came with Tonino’s Pizza for a late supper, others headed down Main Street for dessert after the movie.  Next week, weather permitting, the movie will be Raiders of the Lost Ark.

As for today, we will be looking for the “stray” thunderstorm.

Better odds are to find an ocean breeze to keep cool.
