We are looking for a few volunteers to mow or trim in our town cemeteries. Most are small and no longer active, so nice and quiet. Towns are required to provide some maintenance, so they need to be trimmed about 3 times between June and October. The only town cemetery currently with lots available for sale is the Packer Cemetery. The large Mechanicsville Cemetery in Belmont is a private association.
If interested, please contact me with a message at 802-259-2460 or ddevereux@vermontel.net for a site visit.

Chet Gates, Jr. | | | | | Handsome, healthy Cuckoo Maran rooster available, just under a year old. He has beautiful classic cuckoo barring and a unique single green feather on his back. This guy takes his job seriously — he's chased off two hawks and keeps a constant watch over his flock. He's a great watchdog too, always crowing when someone pulls into the driveway. He's respectful of his ladies, letting them eat first, and does his job well in the breeding department. He has been vaccinated against Coccidiosis and Marek's Disease. That said, he's a bit overzealous sometimes and will go after people's feet if he thinks his hens are in distress. With adults, a simple pickup and carry around generally puts him in his place, but he's not a good fit for a family with young children who like to play with and pickup his hens. He'd make a great addition to a breeding flock or a farm without small children. Feel free to reach out to ngalley@gmail.com with questions! | | | | |
Maple Monday! Welcome to the start of what looks to be a beautiful week! Temperatures here at the farm will be warm and the sun will be shining. We'll take it! Hot Maple. Yes, that's right, Hot Maple! This recipe is not only easy, but can be used for so many things! Drizzle it on pizza or grilled meats. Add a kick to your favorite barbecue sauce recipe. Try it as a salad dressing! Use it in, on, and with everything! Spicy, sweet, and a little heat. Keep an eye on the saucepan to make sure the maple syrup doesn't boil over, and do wash your hands after slicing the peppers!

| | | | | APRIL SHOWERS BRING MAY FLOWERS WORKSHOP
Actually it was a snow storm, causing the cancellation of the Cavendish Historical Society's April Paper Flower workshop. To celebrate springtime, CHS has rescheduled the workshop for May 10, from 10-12 at the Cavendish Community Library in Proctorsville.
Participants can make a wide variety of flowers from various types of paper. Since the celebrations are now underway celebrating the 250th anniversary (Semiquincentennial) of the start of the Revolutionary War-Cavendish has many Patriots buried here-it's a good time to learn how to make a wide array of red, white and blue flowers.
The workshop is free, open to the public with projects for all ages and abilities and has been made possible in part thanks to the Cavendish Community Fund. FMI: margocaulfield@icloud.com or 802-226-7807.
