Weathersfield News May 4, 2016
May Day, May Day-where the heck is
Spring? In March I was hopeful for a warm and early spring; now I'm wondering
what happened. My peas are barely up and Mother's Day is Sunday. And yet the
black flies are out-GREAT! I plan to hit the Ascutney Volunteer Fire
Association's Plant Sale on Saturday May 7 but I may have to make space in the
house to keep them warm until I can plant them. A friend asked if I wanted to
go the Wade Boggs #26 Retirement on May 26, thinking about it and hoping I
don't have to wear long underwear. Four weeks to Memorial Day-will it be warm
by then, only time will tell.
Friday night I saw an absolutely wonderful performance of CATS Musical at Woodstock Town Hall Theatre produced by Pentangle Arts in Collaboration with ArtisTree Community Arts Center at the Woodstock Town Hall Theatre.
