SUMMER READING: KEEP THEM READING ALL
SUMMER - We are fortunate to have so many excellent
reading opportunities here in New Durham. Our public library is sponsoring a
wonderful Australian themed summer reading program. Our local bookstore, Fox
Tale Books, is stocked with a great selection of reading for all levels. And
this year, students who are in good standing may borrow books from our school
media center and keep them through the summer. They will find a selection of
chapter books, information books, and activity books – plenty of titles to read
in the shade on a hot day, keep for a rainy day, or read in a tent by
flashlight! Students may borrow books during the last week of school, June
16-23. The media center will be open on three Wednesday mornings: July 16, 23,
and August 6. Books may be returned on those days or kept through the summer
and returned when school begins in late August. So READ, READ, And READ! and enjoy your summer!

NEW DURHAM
FARMER’S MARKET - Here's hoping the weatherman is correct this week and
that we'll dodge the forecasted rains on Friday. Things are starting to grow in
our gardens and it's always nice to see a wider variety at market. Nora is bringing salsa & tortilla chips
(they sell out every week so come early); breads in blueberry wheat,
sticky buns, rosemary & olive oil, some others, and focaccia;
strawberry and spinach salads, springrolls and
doughnuts if she has time. Claire will have banana breads,
muffins, whoopie pies and if they are ripe, will be
picking and bringing fresh strawberries.
Dotty's perennials look wonderful; all very
large, healthy and ready to into the ground. Very frequently her plants are big
enough to get two or even four divisions so you can get more bang
for your buck. Sandy
has promised to bring some daylilies on Friday. She's another of our most
prolific gardeners and has about a hundred different varieties and brings her
photo album with her so you can choose from all of them. Special orders are
cheerfully accepted. Here in our gardens
the lettuce is plentiful and still tender from all the rain. For cut flowers
the peonies are almost done for the season, but Ill bring the few that remain
(deep burgundy and pink), bright yellow yarrow, columbine, foxgloves and lunaria (money plant). Tomatoes have been planted up to
larger pots and while there aren't many left, there is still a wide
variety: Big Boy, Better Boy, Early Girl, Jet Star, Supersweet
100 and Sugar Snack. Ten or so castor bean plants are still available, but will
probably be gone after this week along with the hop vines. Canna lilies are also doing well this season and both
varieties available have very decorative foliage and by next week the colocasia (elephant ear) should be ready for
containers. Mary McHale will be with us
in spirit only this week but you can catch her at the store. She always has
wonderful things and don't forget about the Saturday Kid's Craft Project using
collage to create camouflage happening on June 28th from 2 to 4. Hope to
see you all on Friday - have a wonderful weekend. Kate
