April started off with new baby calves on the 2nd and the 4th. Thankfully everything went well. Even though we had rain and it was a bit messy, both mommas have been doing great and staying dry in the sheds. They sure are cute. It is one of my favorite times of the year and my camera sure gets a work out between new babies and flowers springing out of the ground. My tulips and daffodils are popping out of the ground and I can’t wait to see some color outside.
Saturday, we ventured to Lewiston for a birthday party at the trampoline park. All the kids had a great time and were able to burn off a bunch of energy which was nice. We’ve had birthday parties the last 3 weekends but I think we get a break next weekend.
I decided to host Easter Sunday lunch at our house. It consisted of ham, mashed potatoes, peas, squash, green beans, homemade rolls and pineapple upside down cake. I know my grandmother, dad, and mother-in-law are all smiling down on us getting together and sharing stories. We sure do miss all of them but they will never be forgotten.
The Comprehensive Plan Committee met on Monday and reviewed the Housing chapter and summary of the Economy chapter. Erica and Ethan from AVCOG are helping put together the chapters with feedback from the committee. They both bring so much excitement and really make the process easy.
A public hearing was held at the Town Office on Tuesday regarding changes to the Unified Development Review Ordinance that will be voted on at Town Meeting on May 12th at the Grange Hall at 6pm. For more information, visit the town’s website newrymaine.org.
While this hearing and Select Board meeting were taking place, Beauty decided on this snowy day she would bring a bull into this world. That makes number 3. We’re waiting on one more and then a short break before the next bunch arrives.
That’s all for this week. Send me your news to be included next week to newrynews24@gmail.com.
