I just saw on Front Porch Forum that students from Cabot School 8th graders will be canvassing town for returnable bottles/cans on Saturday morning. I hope the storm doesn't interfere with their plans. They are earning money for a trip to Washington, D.C. in the spring. They hope to be picking up between 9 a.m. and noon on Saturday, so have your bottles ready if you live in Cabot. If they don't make it on Saturday and you'd like to help support their effort to raise money, get in touch with Lynn Maxfield on Whittier Hill Road, 563-3244 - she may know when or if they will be able to pick up your donation.
I just looked at some pictures we snapped as we were coming home late yesterday afternoon, and thought you might like to see this one taken from Dole Hill as we approached Danville. The sun was just dropping behind the hills on the other side of town - beautiful cloud formations.
We're expecting an oil delivery tomorrow, too. However, the storm may change that. We're anxious to find out if we're using less oil this year after the weatherization we've done and the new boiler. Trouble is, we won't know exactly which the benefit is coming from, assuming we're using less this year, but we think we're noticing an improvement at least so far. With temperature change and weird weather patterns lately, it's going to be really difficult to make a good comparison, but at least we'll get some idea of whether we're headed in the right direction.
Now I need to locate a map of the Town of Cabot from the 1800's for a young student who is doing a project on early Cabot.
