FRIDAY

NEWS Add-on: 8:30
************
BOWLING


Sandy Harding has sent me an E-mail saying that: "The Winners of the First Half soundly beat the Winners of the Second Half ( Stinkers ) for the Championship Roll-off last night for the Thursday night league. The 'Alley Cats' team of Sue, Gerry, Vicki and Carrie (sub for Sandy) will enjoy the Champion title for the second year in a row."

Yesterday was another fantastic Spring Day!!!

Celebrations of all sorts took place
throughout the community.


I found more Hepaticas - this time pink!


Then I looked a little further into the woods and spotted
LEEKS!

Sometimes they're called "Ramp," and they have a garlicky- oniony aroma and flavor and are awfully good in all sorts of recipes!

***********************

It's a different world out there, this morning:

it's 39.9 degrees, drippy,

and it's going to stay that way.

As one kind blog-reader has advised:

"Remember that 'April Showers Bring May Flowers!'"

(Thanks for your note, Jean!)



Another friend advises that "Alcotts have pansies and violas for sale. Smell and look gorgeous! "

******************************************

Next Tuesday

will be the first

GREEN WASTE COLLECTION


and, already, results of industrious raking
can be seen all around the village, either right next
to the curbing or in the street.

HOWEVER 
*****************
The DPW

WILL NOT PICK UP



OR


THEY WILL ONLY EMPTY

DUMPABLE CONTAINERS!

Val Rycraft suggested that a timely reminder might save
many of you the trouble of phoning Municipal Hall
on Wednesday to ask why YOUR collection has not been removed.

ELSEWHERE


Oh, Good!


Everyone's happy!





Thank You!
