- AN OLD SAYING has it that a single daffodil signals misfortune, but a bunch expresses joy and happiness. If that is the case, then this time of spring is filled with lots of joy and happiness in Addison County. We saw many lawns absolutely bursting with daffodils when we stopped to take photos at this spot in Middlebury last week. Independent photo/ John S. McCright

- JUSTIN WILLIS FRESHENS up the rain gardens in Riverfront Park in Middlebury’s Marble Works this past Thursday. Removal of a few early weeds and a fresh coating of mulch and composted soil makes for a nice backdrop for the red dogwood stems and yellow and white daffodils. Independent photo/John S. McCright

- THE BATTELL BLOCK in downtown Middlebury provides a beautiful red backdrop to the brown soil that Cale Gleason is raking over the green grass in Triangle Park recently. Gleason, a superintendent for Kubricky Construction who worked on the main rail tunnel project — including laying in the precast concrete tunnel sections — took advantage of the nice spring weather last week to tidy up some of the landscaping that is finishing up the $72 million job.
