The weather has flipped again! Indian summer, as it used to be called, paid us a lovely visit at the end of last week. Flowers thought over for the season started to bloom again and the warm breeze lightened my heart. Of course, it was a brief reprieve and the weekend brought cold and damp weather, so I hope that everyone enjoyed those wonderful warm days.

I often hear creatures meandering up or down my driveway, alerted by my driveway alarm. The trees block my view, although droppings in my dooryard often provide a clue. The other evening, I flipped on the light and noticed a healthy looking fox that paused at the edge of my driveway to stare at me as I was staring at him/her! It felt like a connection was made before we each continued with our own agendas. What a wonderful place to live!

I see that the Hagge family is still excelling with biking. Schuyler is on the team at WUHS and mom, Sarah is coaching. It seems that all of the family shares a love for the sport. I would love to know more about our students, so please send me information to share.

I understand that the program regarding CCC camps sponsored by the Plymouth Historical Society on Sunday was very well attended. I am told that Marty Podskoch presented considerable historical information in a delightful way. I am so sorry to have missed it. Folks from neighboring towns attended and a number of out-of-town visitors, as well. Congratulations to Bob Lambert who won the trivia contest with his amazing knowledge!

There will not be a Select Board meeting on 10/30/23.
