Harvesting operations are in full swing again after a period of dampish weather. The forecast sounds promising for the coming week even though Sunday was cool with a cold wind. Let's hope the weather co-operates so combining can be finished.
Sunday was to have been a special evening with the harvest moon and an eclipse of the moon.
I understand the Maidstone Gully 4-H Club has begun sessions again to begin a new 4-H year. The Craig and Deirdre Blyth family from Forest Bank have been active in 4-H. This year their children will, as usual, be members of the club with Deirdre helping with leadership. I hope to be able to report some of their activities as time goes along.
Christine Pike attended the Nature Saskatchewan fall meeting, which this year was held in the Battlefords. The whole weekend, from Friday, Sept. 25, to Sunday, Sept. 28, was taken up with many interesting activities.
The group visited Redberry Lake and area. The interpretive centre there is extremely interesting, but unfortunately is otherwise closed because of lack of funding. It was opened especially for the group to tour. They visited the site of the crooked trees, near Mayfair, and a site near Redberry Lake where a waste management facility is being set up.
The guest speaker this year was a naturalist who works with aboriginal youth. This presentation was especially interesting.
Last weekend Christine鈥檚 sister Maureen Bexson spent time with her.
