It is difficult to know what to wear these days with fluctuating temperatures. Streams seem high with all that rain. The slight coating of snow did whiten things up, though. The Reading Group will be meeting via Zoom on Wed, 1/11 at 6:30 PM to discuss Family Tree by Susan Wiggs.

The Plymouth Historical Society will be hosting a Sunday afternoon children’s movie “Clifford, The Big Red Dog”, next Sunday, 1/15 at 2PM at the Plymouth Community center. Juice and cookies will be served. Please bring a quilt or yoga pad for young children to sit on. The Historical Society Museum will also be open. Masks are optional.

I happened to be looking at the Short Term Rental application that can be found on the Town website, under ordinances in the Town Administration section. I understand that only about 1/3 of the owners of these residences has followed through with the application process. it appears there are many safeguards to protect perspective renters, owners, and the public.
