This week Jeff Reynolds caught a tufted titmouse at his feeder.
Hopefully we'll hear his spring call soon.


Speaking of spring, Mabel Silliman of Deansboro noticed a "Snow Drops" plant in full bloom & other spring bulbs popping out of her gardens. One can only hope it means spring is right around the corner.





Milk and gas prices seem to be holding steady this week.
