11/3/25

Clocks have been changed, but I have yet to reset my lights that are on timers. This first Monday in November is cold, crisp, and sunny. Not sure why my hanging plants have not been frosted since the overnight temps have been in the twenties. I am not complaining – still enjoying their beauty! Snow on the top of Okemo on Saturday morning. We know it will be here soon….
Please note that the Plymouth Historical Society (located at the former Plymouth Elementary School) will be open the first and third Sundays, 2-4 p.m., for the months of November, 2025, through April, 2026. If you have not had the pleasure of visiting this amazing historical collection, plan to take a Sunday drive and check it out.
Many of us are used to seeing wild turkeys in our travels, but roast turkey seems to be on the minds of many. You can start to satisfy your turkey hankering this Thursday at the Catholic church in Ludlow.

If you are still craving more turkey, you can attend the free dinner at the Plymouth Town Building from 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm on Saturday, 11/22. If you still need more and don’t feel like cooking your own, the Echo Lake Inn is offering Thanksgiving dinner. Call 802-228-8602 for reservations.
