Coolidge Old Home Day, 2014. (Image: T. Bascom)

After being bombarded by large pellets of hail in Ludlow the previous Monday evening, it has been nice to have sunshine this past weekend.

My only animal encounter this past week was with bickering hummingbirds who nearly crashed into me while chasing each other from the feeder. Why can’t they play nice and share?

 As I am writing this, we are on our way home after visiting friends on Webster Lake in NH, then Pontoosuc Lake in MA. This has been a “Lake” week for us with a trip to Lake George last Tuesday!

Our next Book Club selection is “A Piece of the World,” by Christina Baker Kline about Andrew Wyeth’s mysterious painting, “Christina’s World.”  With the upcoming move, Betsy will only be joining us for this book discussion on 9/7, but Cassie Horner will be taking over as organizer with help from the rest of the group!  All the best to Betsy and Russ, who have contributed greatly to our town over their years here in Plymouth.

Mark your calendar for Old Home Day at the Notch on 8/5. More details next time! 

Please note the informational meeting on 8/7/17 at 6:00 PM by the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) to  discuss Bridge #115 over Reservoir Brook
