Weathersfield News, Week of July 25, 2013

The heat and humidity has finally broken. The cooler weather is nice. I actually had to put a blanket on the bed this morning. It figures that now the heat has broken and I had plans to go riding Monday morning that it would be raining cats and dogs.

The garden is loving the cooler temperatures. By dinner, the lettuce isn't so wilted and sad looking. The zucchini and summer squash are growing by leaps and bounds. Even the pumpkins are growing measurably each day. The snap peas, radishes and cucumbers are delicious!

The tractor is up and running and it's so much faster getting work done that with a shovel and a bucket. Now we are able to turn the manure pile to get a better compost on it.

In other news, my sisters and I are hosting a Bridal shower for my mother, Bev Howe, Monday evening. On Sunday, she will be marrying Bernie Fluette from Claremont, NH. 

The Route 131 VTrans project has started. They are grinding away at Route 131. With the rains, the sections that have been ground are now showing up as pot holes. There have also been some minor wash outs in areas that were repaired from the storms earlier in July. If there are cones on the road, please use caution.

Tax due dates and tax rates were set at the Select Board meeting over two weeks ago. Tax bills were processed and mailed last week. You should have received yours in the mail by now. The first due date is August 14, 2013.
