Well, this Monday morning is a bit gloomy, but the past week has been absolutely beautiful, necessitating the pulling out of warm weather clothes.  I love it!  I was fortunate to have lots of help recently – Andy to assist with lawn work and setting my clothes line out.  My son-in-law and Donnie, plus Melissa and the boys to make short work of downing 3 trees that will allow more light into my yard.  

I have noticed many people out in their yards cleaning up after winter, unburying the new shoots that are emerging.  Things are dry, so rain is needed.  In speaking with Joe Rebideau, he is not issuing burn permits at the present time.

A reminder about Town Meeting tonight and voting tomorrow.  Also, the Reading Group will gather via Zoom on Thursday, 4/15 at 6:30 PM to discuss the book, Girl with the Louding Voice by Abi Dare.  We will also be considering selections for the next several months.  All are welcome to join our playful group.  We  do read many current and informative books about numerous global issues, but manage to enjoy ourselves, too.  Let me know if you would like to be included and I will send you the meeting instructions.

Undoubtedly there are more April birthdays, so please let me know.  I am aware that Kathy Lynds deserves best birthday wishes on 4/29, however.
