Dear readers,
Welcome to the new Lincoln Squirrel—just in time for spring! (Monday’s forecast notwithstanding.)
Today is the first day of the Squirrel’s new look, and the first day you can sign up as a paid subscriber. As I’ve previously explained here and here, the Squirrel is moving to a paid-subscription model. Until Friday, April 8, everyone can still see the Squirrel for free as before, but after April 8, you must subscribe and then log in (usually just once per device) to keep reading the articles.
A few other notes:
- You now have the option of paying for an entire year of the Squirrel rather than a monthly charge. PayPal accepts credit cards, debit cards and checking account withdrawals), or you can pay by old-fashioned paper check. To do so, please mail a check for $48.00 made out to Watusi Words to:
Alice Waugh
178 Weston Rd.
Lincoln MA 01773
(In case you were wondering, Watusi Words is the name of my freelance business that includes the Lincoln Squirrel… so if you know anyone who needs some writing, editing or other communications work, feel free to send them to www.watusiwords.com.)
- If you have made a donation to the Squirrel at any time since April 1, 2015, you will automatically get six months of the new Squirrel for free.
- The calendar and some other non-article features of the site will always be free.
As the new system gets going, let me know if you have any questions or problems, and we’ll make improvements together. A sincere thank-you to everyone who’s been reading the Squirrel and will continue to do so, and a big welcome to new readers!
Sincerely,
Alice Waugh

Alice. I have a question. If one signs up, does that grant access to all members of a family, or just one individual. So if Susan and I both want to read the Squirrel, do we have to have to pay two fees.
We have the same issue in our house!
