Sunday: Another sunny Sunday. The thermometer, at 11:00 AM, reads 55 degrees. Of course, the wind is blowing and if I was inclined to go out, I would guess it does not feel like 55 degrees.
Mr. & Mrs. Cardinal showed up early for breakfast the other day. They wanted to be sure they got there before all the Blue Jays showed up and devoured everything they could. Earlier in the winter, we had a Robin that showed up almost every day. We hadn’t seen him for quite a while, but last Monday, late in the day, Hugh looked out and there was a Robin looking for something to eat. The Evening Grosbeaks and the Red-Winged Blackbirds have shown up now. It was nice enough on Tuesday, so the little chipmunk came out to replenish his seed supply. We have seen them in January and February if the weather is really warm.
Pete and Claudia Risbara have won the bird spotting award for this week. The Bluebirds have come back early this year. They like to check out the birdhouses and get first dibs on them before the swallows take over.

Just another reminder to pick up a Town Report at the Town Office to look through and be ready for the Annual Town Meeting on March 28th. The Registrar of Voters will be there at 6:30 PM to enroll Gilead residents who have not registered to vote yet. Bring proof of residency. The meeting will start promptly at 7:00 PM.

We were sorry to hear that Dennis Wheeler had passed away. Condolences go out to his family. Denny painted both of the GHS buildings after they were moved onto the corner lot.
