Welcome to April. April finds us looking forward to spring cleaning, watching the robins return to the dormant grassy fields and putting away the shovels and snow boots. But today, while still cool outside, we are thinking “planting time!”

Granby Grange #5 continues to rebuild its membership and programs in Granby and was recently honored by National Grange as the first-place winner in the Community Garden contest for 2023. In addition to Grange activities, members volunteer at Waste Not Want Not, Stony Hill Village, Salmon Brook Historical Society and several other community groups.
This “homemade” recipe came from one of my mom’s Irish cousins years ago. Besides my own mom, Mae Garvey was one of the best cooks I have ever met—everything she did seemed so effortless and was always delicious. A treasured legacy!

If you want to get outside and start planting but don’t have the land or are disturbed by the high price of produce—and want to meet some new friends—the Granby community garden is the answer.
On an unusually warm day in February, I noticed a purple violet pushing up through winter’s fallen leaves. This tiny harbinger of spring cheered me up after a season of gray skies, record-breaking rain and very little snow. Sometimes I think I’m solar-powered, to the extent that I crave sunlight for energy and joy.
