We had a fairly cool weekend with a cold wind. Hopefully we will soon get some warmer weather. This week is supposed to be warmer. The ice is still on Johnson Lake and it still looks white. I am wondering if it’s going to be gone by this coming weekend. We are anxious to see the water once again and have the ducks and loons back. The fishermen are also waiting to put a boat in and try their luck at fishing.
This weekend is the Belmore Lake’s Lodge bee day. Tom and I will try and go for a couple of hours. We are always anxious to see the lodge after the winter.
Last week I saw my first robin on my front lawn but I have not seen him since and a few summer birds. They are very slow at coming, I guess they are waiting for nicer weather.
May 8 is the Golden Age Club’s annual potluck dinner and meeting with cards and darts following. Cards and darts continue for the summer except for the first two weeks in July for holidays at the R.A. in Otter Lake.
Happy 30th anniversary to Trina and Grant Hodgins of Ladysmith. Trina and Grant spent some time at Nordik Spa and said it was very relaxing.
Trina’s sister Fidele was up with her family for a late Easter hunt and dinner but the turkeys ate all their treats in the bush before the kids could find them.
Irelann Hodgins had two young ladies from Jaffrey, BC visiting on an exchange program a few weeks ago. They enjoyed many activities including dog sledding with the Cushings. Now Irelann is visiting Jaffrey, BC and said it is amazing. The kids from BC were Cassy and Cassidy and they had a lovely time here.
