9/8/25

Another lovely sunny morning in the 40s at my house. I admit to being somewhat horrified at the sudden change of color, foretelling the approach of winter. I am not ready! We certainly did not receive the much-needed rain that was supposed to come our way. This draught is upsetting and also a fire hazard. There is absolutely no water flowing under my driveway and I know folks who have run out of water.

Little bear, my nickname for him, is ambling up and down my driveway daily. I am still discouraging his forays into my yard. I imagine next year he will not be so little or cute! I refilled my hummingbird feeder on Sunday, but alas, I think they may have departed. I will leave it up a bit longer in case others traveling south need a hit on their way through.

The Select Board meeting should be quite interesting. Check out the agenda on the website.

After such busy Labor Day weekend, this one was a bit more laidback. The Community Picnic at Bethany Mennonite Church took place outdoors since the rain stopped and the sun appeared. A couple of campers from Coolidge State Park joined us. I hope that people are aware that Camp Plymouth State Park on Echo Lake will remain open through 9/28 with the concession for snacks and boat rentals available.

Thanks to Betty Stear and Kathy Kaminski for their hard work reorganizing Tyson Library. It is now a comfortable place to read and peruse the book selection. The season is nearly over, but some volunteers have opened a day here or there.

There are still many activities taking place at Fletcher Memorial Library, where Plymouth residents are most welcome. The next Book Club will be Monday, 9/15 at 6 PM. You are encouraged to come discuss any book that you have enjoyed and would recommend to others. For those ages 5 and younger, come to story time on Weds from 10:30 to 11:15 (9/10-11/19)

Plymouth Bridge Work
Vermont Route 100A

Construction Update:
As of Friday, September 6th, guardrails, bridge rails, waterproofing membrane, and final pavement have been installed. Cold River Bridges is continuing to place shoulder material and perform cleanup work into early next week. Asphalt plug joints are scheduled for Monday, September 8th, followed by final line striping later that week. These steps will largely complete the project, with any remaining minor work scheduled for later in September and October.

Traffic Impacts:
Daily lane closures will continue at Bridge #9 on VT 100A next week for plug joint installation and line striping. Traffic will be controlled by a temporary signal, and two-way traffic will be restored outside working hours. Drivers should proceed with caution, as workers may be near the roadway.
