VERMONTERS SPREAD OUT along the roads and byways of the state this past Saturday to pick up accumulated winter roadside trash on Green Up Day. A group of tidy folk at the Congregational Church of Middlebury gathered many green bags of trash around downtown Middlebury, including behind the Ilsley Library. Here they celebrate their haul by tossing the last few bags into a pickup bound for the transfer station.

get some work done on Tuesday morning.

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.

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.
