Do you believe that beavers watch TV? Well they do and I have the proof. If you take Route 301 going to Campbell’s Bay from Otter Lake and turn left onto the Mountain Road near Lawless Lake, the first creek has a large beaver dam and there is a satellite dish on it. I wondered what the beavers would watch, then a week later I passed by and there was a hockey stick on top of the dam. Of course they watch hockey. I always knew that the beavers had indoor carpets and running water, but television? Now I have seen everything. They also have the Canada flag on top of their house.
Last week when I was working up some earth in my flowerbeds, I noticed a lot of white grubs. I was talking to a friend in Otter Lake and she had some potato sprouts eaten off by the grubs. I guess its going to be another year that they are plentiful, I’ve heard that every four years we can expect this.
Visiting with us on Sunday afternoon was Claudia Martin. Claudia and Michael have returned to their cottage for the summer here on Johnson’s Lake.
