Sympathy goes out to the family of Neil Smith of Eagle Hills and Battleford on his recent passing at age 96. Neil and his late wife Ada were busy community people. Neil also was noted for his wonderful violin music. He played his violin at various functions and for the elderly people. No funeral was held. He was laid to rest at the Memorial Gardens Cemetery.
A graveside service was held for Glenn Peters at the Baljennie St. Bridget’s Church grave yard. Glenn past away in January 2018. A funeral service was held then. Peters, Bater and Snyder families and close friends and neighbours attended the burial service May 7.
Spring seeding has progressed well for the farmers. The better part of all the crops are seeded. Many are just finishing up the last fields. Little seedlings are growing fast. A good soaking gentle rain would be welcome to keep the crops growing.
Get well wishes go out to Robert Greer of Baljennie. He is in Battlefords Union Hospital.
There is another outbreak of forest tent caterpillars. They are eating the tree leaves. They seem to go for the poplar trees first. One good thing is they do not hurt people, they are just a messy nuisance.
The ticks are still on the move, so keep an eye out for them. Everytime my husband goes out to the farm he ends up with one or two on him. They are tough to pull out. They are just waiting to hop and land on you or your pets. So far this year they are tiny and it can be hard to see them.
The hummingbirds are back at the feeders and whatever blossoms they can find. They are a little slower to come back this spring due the cool spring weather.
