No burn permits will be issued until further notice. Our fire departments were very busy last week putting out brush fires. Even though you can see puddles where the snow has melted, we are still in a drought and the woods are very dry. Check with the Fire Wardens before you burn. You and your property will stay safe this way and our volunteer fire fighters can spend time with their families.
Hope you had time on Sunday to enjoy the summer-like weather. I washed windows and put up our screens. I also took down and washed our bird feeders. The garden itch has started so we uncovered our garlic patch and I've noticed daffodil sprouts too. I guess Spring is here.
Friday night I hit the Freight House in White River Junction to see one of my favorite local performers Brooks Hubbard. He has a new CD out and he played all of the tunes for us that night. Can't wait to get a copy of it.
Jes Raymond and the Blackberry Bushes opened the show.
On Saturday, I covered the Reading Recreation Commission's Bunny Hop at Bartley Field in Reading, Vt. for the Vermont Standard.
