As spring becomes more pronounced, I am seeing many purple finches that always brighten up the yard. Only a couple of patches of snow remain where it slid off the roof, so I have returned my snow shovels to the garage. Next spring task is to have my snow tires changed out. It looks like spring may actually have arrived with the blooming of cheerful daffodils! 

Please note that starting 5/1, the solid waste district’s household hazardous waste facility, located at the Alva Waste Transfer Station, Springfield, will be open Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Call 802-674-9235 or go online to www.vtsolidwastedistrict.org to make an appointment or obtain info about what is accepted. The charge is $10 per vehicle for up to ten gallons of waste. Each additional gallon is an additional dollar. Paint is free. Cash or check only.

Thanks from Tyson Ladies Aid for another successful Good Friday bake sale. The nice variety of goodies made the many patrons happy and hopefully enhanced Easter celebrations.

Don’t miss out on the Reading Group’s discussion of A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson on Thursday, 4/24 at 6:30 PM. I have not clarified it with the usual group, but we can meet at my house to talk about the details of this interesting excursion on the Appalachian Trail.
