The Spring Reminders bulletin is out with important information about the Wednesday Meet and Greets at the Grove at the end of Weathersfield. These weekly meet-ups, a cherished Weathersfield tradition, begin again Wednesday, March 24, starting at 5:00 p.m.
If you are new to Weathersfield in the past year, you will want to read how we make the gatherings a success. And, everyone needs to read about the new COVID guidelines for safe gatherings in Spring Reminders.
Ruppert Landscaping will be “trenching” (i.e., digging a shallow furrow along sidewalks, edges of beds, and Common Areas; a technique that helps contain the mulch in those areas over time.) Trenching, a preparatory step to mulching, will start on/about March 17. Mulching will start March 22, 2021 and includes both personal property and Common Areas throughout the community. Weather permitting, Ruppert is hoping to complete mulching in the entire community in 2 – 3 days. In preparation for both trenching and mulching, please remove any non-permanent garden lights, statuary, or other ornamentation on your personal property to avoid any damage to these items as well as providing the Ruppert crew with easy access to your property.
Dark brown mulch, like what is currently in these areas, will be continued to ensure that color consistency remains throughout.
For many years, a much-anticipated event has been the annual WEATHERSFIELD SPRING FLING where the community gathers in The Grove in late April or early May to share favorite appetizers or desserts, socialize with friends and neighbors before the buggy season sets in, and introduce newcomers to our community. Residents have invited friends, and, in some instances, those same friends have later moved to Weathersfield and looked forward to this yearly event. Sadly, COVID 19 put the kibosh on last year’s “Fling”, and it seems unwise to plan the event for this year as well even though many in our community have been fortunate in getting the vaccine. The “Fling” would still involve the sharing of food and drink and close contact in a rather large group.
These have been very isolating times to which all of us can attest. Some folks who have moved to Weathersfield in the past two years have yet to experience the “Fling” and this is disheartening. Those of us who have lived here for a while pride ourselves on the well-deserved reputation for friendliness and hospitality that our community has earned. With this in mind, please reach out to one another (especially newcomers who have arrived during the past two years) and say that brighter days are ahead, and a SPRING FLING will likely be on the schedule for 2022.
Note: While this is not a WSG Board-sponsored event, an enthusiastic, energetic committee forms each year to plan for this gathering in The Grove. An invitation will go out next Spring asking if you would like to be involved.
