Dear ,
Greetings from Vermont, where we are knee deep (literally and figuratively) in Vermont's fourth season right now: mud season!
It was a fantastic winter, wasn't it? Tons of snow, fantastic skiing, and great weather with warm sunny days followed by crisp wintery squalls. But, now the snow is melting (seriously, it is almost gone!) and we're all gearing up for the summer. Personally, I can't wait to wake up my gardens and add flowers, shrubs and decor to my new patio!
With the onset of spring, Mary Mitchell Miller Real Estate is actively soliciting new listings. There are plenty of buyers looking - in all price ranges - and our inventory of local listings for sale is at what I believe might be a historic low. Late spring is the perfect time to list your property for sale; Vermont is looking lush and green, and there is an abundance of fun and exciting activities to entice and interest prospective buyers to fall in love with the area! If you or someone you know is thinking about selling a property, we would enjoy the opportunity to discuss how we might be able to be of assistance.
With warm regards for a wonderful spring,
- Claudia Harris

Green Up Day in Vermont Is 6th!
|
|
|
|
Green Up 2017
|
Marking its 47th year, Green Up Day organizers expect more than 22,000 volunteers will work together this May 6th to clean up Vermont's roads, parks and waterways!
WHAT is it? and HOW did it get started?
A special day when thousands of volunteers come out in their communities for a massive spring clean up of litter. It is the largest statewide volunteer event in Vermont with over 22,000 taking part.
Launched in 1970 by Governor Deane Davis, four days before the first Earth Day, with the idea to "marshal an army of thousands of volunteers to clean up litter from roadsides." There was a lot of roadside litter back then. The Interstate was closed from nine to noon and the clean up drew national media coverage.
HOW has it CHANGED?
It is no longer organized by a state agency. Instead, Green Up Vermont is a non-profit organization responsible for carrying on this great annual tradition. They are now providing over 50,000 Green Up bags every year!
WHERE does it take place?
Every community in Vermont has a Green Up Day. Roadsides, natural and public spaces, and waterways throughout the entire state are the focus for the litter clean up.
WHO takes part?
Everyone can take part - people of all ages and all walks of life. Lots of families go out together to involve young children in learning about negative effects of littering. Local community groups can help organize food and festivities for volunteers - some towns have a breakfast or offer refreshments - and some towns have contests and prizes for categories like the largest single item collected, the most unusual item or the most bags collected.
HOW can people get involved?
Visit the
How to Participate
page to find your Town Coordinator, where to get Green Up bags, and what to do with them afterwards. Also all seven Vermont Subaru dealers are official sites for bag pick up and drop off.
Green Up's mission is to promote the stewardship of our state's natural landscape and waterways and the livability of our communities by involving people in Green Up Day and raising public awareness about the benefits of a litter-free environment.

I
t's the first commandment of painting. Here's how to wash seven common stains off your walls.
Painting instructions often warn: Remove stains from walls before painting. But they never say how. Any cleaning rookie can wipe off dust and cobwebs. But it takes a cleaning pro to scour grease stains, watermarks, and kids' crayon and ink wall art.
