The wood boiler may have been shut down for the season but the furnace is still coming on due to cool morning temperatures. Eventually this has to break and warmer temperatures become more consistent. I’m prepared for the hot sun when it returns in the afternoon to the back porch with shades installed. I finally found what I was looking for so we can enjoy afternoon and evenings on the porch while getting some relief when it is too hot.
The water level in the pool is up and the filter is running again. Now we just need it to warm up as that water sure is cold.
The apple blossoms have been blown to the ground and the lilacs are in full bloom and smell amazing. We have white in the back yard and purple in the front. I love taking pictures of bees and butterflies on the flowers and take several pictures waiting for the right angle. My hostas are very full and look great except for one of my variegated green ones which something decided to snack on, possibly my chickens.
Speaking of plants, the library plant sale is taking place on Saturday, June 6th from 9-11am. Don’t miss it as it is a great place to get new additions while supporting the library. Most of my hostas were obtained at this sale and are amazing. I’ve missed the last few years due to other commitments but maybe I’ll make it this year.
Baking consisted of another new rhubarb recipe. This time it was a Rhubarb Crunch which was a big hit. Molasses cookies are on the list next as a request from Eliot.
Baseball continues and they had a home game Tuesday night against Poland and the kids did great. Eliot had a couple of great outs, one on first and one on third and hit a triple with his new bat. These kids are so supportive of each other and encouraging. It really is great to see how they have grown and learned to work together in the last month and we still have a couple more weeks to go.
Make sure to add the Community Engagement session to your calendar for June 23rd at 6 p.m. at the Grange Hall. This session is being held by the Comprehensive Plan Committee to obtain input while they prepare the updated Comprehensive Plan. The next Comprehensive Plan meeting takes place on Monday, June 15th at 5 p.m. at the Town Office.
Come visit the polls to vote in the Primary Election on Tuesday, June 9th from 8 a.m.-8 p.m. If you have any interest in being a ballot/election clerk, please inquire at the Town Office.
If you missed the Town Meeting that took place, you can still pick up the Town Report at the Town Office or view it on the town’s website.
That’s all for this week. Enjoy the weather and take time to enjoy the small things in life. Send me your news to newrynews24@gmail.com.
