It hardly seems possible that we are now in the middle of May of this year. Spring field work is well on the way with a lot of seeding already completed.
Meanwhile we have been experiencing dry weather with some hot days. Some parts of Saskatchewan have been having some rainfall, but we have not been a part of the fortunate areas.
The leaves and blossoms came out quickly during the hot days. The wild berry bushes, such as saskatoons, have lots of blossoms and the fruit trees in our yards are beautiful. We can only hope for a good rain soon.
This is the time of year when music recitals take place. Some young people take lessons just for their own particular interest rather than for the purpose of advancing in theory. This sounds interesting, too.
The Yellowhead Ramblers orchestra continue their weekly practice sessions and social activities, although they have slowed down due to spring farm work. Their music is still in demand.
Jean McPherson’s and Jim Maxwell’s daughters, Julie and Lynn, are both working and living in Saskatoon. Julie is working promoting Ag in the Classroom and Lynn, who is an artist, is working in that field. Jean and Jim visit with them frequently. Their son, Robbie, has been working overseas and is presently looking for a new job.
Spring activities such as tree planting and gardening are high on the list for many people at this time of year. Battling the dandelion crop helps to keep us busy.
