We've experienced very changeable weather. Some snow has fallen but more would be welcome, so there will be moisture for growing crops in the spring.
Easter is fast approaching and the week following will be Easter holidays for all students. Enjoy yourselves! The next break will be summer holidays.Â
Arlee Lumgair has completed a quilt with a log cabin pattern and donated it to the community. It will be raffled at the Father's Day event to be held in Waseca. Proceeds will go to the reflooring of the Waseca Community Centre. The quilt will be displayed at the Maidstone Trade Fair and at the Fish Fry in Waseca on April 23. Arlee has also donated some placemats which will be in the silent auction at the Fish Fry.Â
Jamie Sutherland, who works in southern Saskatchewan, is spending a few days at home. While here, he is applying his renovating skills in the homes of some of his relatives.Â
I hear the crows cawing every morning. Even though there is still snow, and sometimes temperatures as low as minus 12 degrees, they must know that spring is on its way. I still think that they and the geese who have been here for more than a week must be having a little difficulty with ice and snow.Â
It is good to be back on the same time as the rest of Saskatchewan. There has been a great discussion on the difficulties that go along with the change in time each fall and spring, especially the effect it has on children. Personally I'd be pleased if we stayed on summer time all year round.Â
