Hey, The Haddams-Killingworth! It's Monday, so let's get you started with everything you need to know going on today in town.

First, today's weather:

Sun giving way to clouds. High: 54 Low: 40.

Here are the top three stories today in The Haddams-Killingworth:

1. Looking to move? Here are the two newest houses on the market in the Haddams-Killingworth area. (The Haddams-Killingworth Patch)
2. Stop by Killingworth Library on April 23 and help welcome spring! From 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. several activities will be offered on a drop-in basis Supplies are limited! (Press Release Desk)
3. Springtime in Connecticut means bears! That's right black bears. To be precise, eastern black bears, and they are just waking up from a long winter's nap, which means they are hungry. So, now is the time of year the bears are out and about prowling for food. Be aware and never approach a bear; they're big, smart and they have claws like knives. (Patch)
