Big birthday wishes are going out to Eddie Desabrais who turned 80 on April 26. Hope you had a great day celebrating Eddie.

We also have birthday wishes going out to . . .

Jennifer McBane-Barr on April 29 and to her son Ryan Barr on May 1. Happy birthday to Debbie Johnston on May 3 and to Caryl McCann on May 4. Best wishes to everyone celebrating this week.

Of course, it was another quiet weekend in our neck of the woods without much to do. I cut my grass for the first time on Saturday. I had a ring of dark, long grass growing in my back yard which I was very curious about. We had several ideas of what might have caused it (UFOs? a swimming pool?) – but I have learned it is called “Fairy Ring” and is caused by fungus in the ground. You learn something new every day.

On May 1, there will be a plant sale fundraiser at Quyon United Church. It is the perfect opportunity to get some starts for your garden. Lindsay Hamilton will have a variety of vegetables, fruits and herbs to sell with all proceeds going to the church. Please note that masks and physical distancing will be mandatory.
