We had a nice time leaf peeping and stopping at the Rocky Ridge Apple Farm for donuts and cider. Good fun.

Come to the Chili and Chowder Fest where our cooks have made Chili to compete with 11 other local groups. It looks like a great event to raise funds for youth food and shelter. It is tonight in downtown Bath.

Happy Earth Day. Spring continues to come despite late winter storms. We lost a birch tree at the central circle in the ice storm on 3/24-25, which has changed the feel of the area. To celebrate Earth Day and Arbor Day and remember HH friends, we want to plant a new tree or series of plantings at that location in memory of residents who have enjoyed the sunny area and also sought refuge in the shade that trees, and specifically that tree, provided.

Storm Respite. These recent storms remind us how paying attention to the weather forecast is important, but that alone is not always enough as conditions following a storm deteriorate further before they get better. Would it provide a level of comfort to know that you have a backup plan ready? You can set yourself or your parent up with a respite stay at HillHouse where there is shelter, water, power, and meals, with a stay in a private room. Seven nights for $2,000. Advance planning is necessary.

Eclipse 2024. We had activities inside and outside to see and celebrate the eclipse safely. Good treats and discussion with news coverage of the moon’s progress across the sun. Outside we projected the image onto a table surface with a colander and holed spoons, while trying to figure out what the birds were doing.
