On Sunday afternoon, there was a beautiful Northern Flicker on my front lawn. They are very pretty birds and are a little like a woodpecker and a little bigger than a robin. They feed off the ground, mostly ants, which is their favourite food.
There are still a lot of coyotes around. Doug Hodgins was saying that he had one in his field last week.
My sister Beulah Grife spent the weekend with us and we had an enjoyable visit. Beulah came with me to the Chinese meal in Renfrew on Monday for the Golden Age Club.
As I mentioned last week the Golden Age Club is off for holidays the last week of June and the first week of July.
