Delightful weather continues and I really need to focus on yard cleanup today, but first I am going for a walk with neighbors. Had not seen many deer in my yard lately, but there was one the other morning. Perhaps trying to find a safe place during bow season.

Some places are closing for the season. Plymouth State park closed a couple of weeks ago and Tiffany and Chris are off to other pursuits. Just a reminder to use the special designated parking area when walking in the park. The Historic site closed this past Sunday, but the Cheese Factory remains open.

During the recent Book Group discussion, everyone seemed to enjoy Becoming Madame Secretary by Stephanie Dray. The portrayed of Francis Perkins painted in this book provided insights into discrimination against women, the inhumane working conditions faced by factory workers, and also touched on mental health issues. Our next meeting is Wednesday, 11/20 with a discussion of What the Fireflies Knew by Kai Harris.

I recently received an inquiry from Black River Good Neighbor Services asking if folks would like to learn more about their programs and services. They do offer a nice meal once per month at the Community Center in Ludlow and I have seen Plymouth folks there. They would include a meal with their informational meeting here in town if there is interest. In years past,  prior to Covid we offered monthly community lunches at Tyson Church, often with speakers. Please let me know if you might be interested, then I will locate a venue for it to happen!
