The weather was delightful again this weekend, although a bit cooler on Sunday than previous days. That full week of rain helped to mitigate the dry conditions, but I think we could use some gentle showers now. Don’t forget that burn permits are needed – contact Forest Fire Warden, Joseph Rebideau at (802) 672-5148.

I hope that everyone had an enjoyable Mother’s Day. I want to thank my family for helping me sift through some of the items in my garage and taking a truckload away! We only made a dent, but it is a start.

Something has been setting off my driveway alarm around 9 PM each night. I was finally able to see that it is a fox, who looks nice and healthy with a beautiful fluffy tail.

There is a Select Board meeting tonight at 6 PM. You can find the agenda on the town website. The town is still one person short on the highway dept staff. Applications are being accept by the Town Clerk.
