The Hilldale Hamlet committee is sponsoring a flea market, Saturday May 23,  to raise funds for local beautification projects.  They’re accepting donations, so keep them in mind if you’re planning to do any redecorating this spring.  Contact info is HillsdaleNYFlea@gmail.com or (518) 325-9891.  Here’s the link to the Facebook page:

Today’s the official first day of spring!  The snow melted and revealed a LOT of birdseed strewn on the ground under and around the feeder.  Apparently those chickedees are sloppy eaters.  Anyway, about fifteen or twenty turkeys showed up to help with the groundswork.  No more seeds!
