5/4/25

It looks like our April showers are coming in May! Gloomy as the day would describe my mood as I realized it was still raining this morning and would continue all day. Knowing that we need this precipitation was not much consolation until I saw my first hummingbird of the season. I could let this dreary day bring me down or I could appreciate that there are needs beyond my own. Plants and other creatures will benefit from the moisture and I can tackle some of the many projects awaiting my attention indoors!

I understand that about 40 people attended the free breakfast and lunch at the Town Building for GreenUp Day – all ages and much enthusiasm. Green vests were given out to help ensure safety while collecting trash on the roadways. Thanks to those who prepared and served food and to those who beautified our town!

We can help to beautify each other’s home by stopping at the Prop Swap on Mon, 5/5 5:30-7PM at Fletcher Memorial Library where you can trade/exchange house plants and clippings.  Consider signing up for FLM Computer classes.  Workshops © Computer Basics 5/9 2-3:30pm © Email Basics 5/16 2-3:30pm © Internet Basics 5/30 2-3:30pm  Sign up 802-228-8921 or learn about more programs at fmlnews@gmail.com www.fmlnews.org

A delicious lunch by Joan Day and Liz Naftulin was served at the Tyson Ladies Aid meeting last Thursday. The bake sale on Good Friday was successful and this year there will be four scholarship given to local graduating seniors. Clean up will be happening soon at the Tyson library so that it can be opened for the season on 5/24. Please note that in conjunction with EMS personnel, the annual Strawberry Festival at Camp Plymouth State Park will be on Wed, 6/18.
