Wow - beautiful weather!!!

I am enjoying this lovely weather to the max! I hung out my first official load of laundry for the season - it is so fresh smelling. No mosquitoes yet, but we've got crocuses and daffodils coming up and I'm thrilled. This is fully a month ahead of previous years. When an elder had the trailer installed at the barn 2 years ago, there was more snow than there is now, and the weather was very cold - and this was the end of April. Global warming aside, the smiling faces I see around town are happy for this early spring. Our furnace is off!! My cabin fever will dry up and blow away now...

Back in January I was filmed by the United Church for a multifaith program to be aired around Easter. This Lenten Series for the United Church of Canada is on at 6 PM, Sunday evenings, on Vision Television... I didn't know it had started until a friend called after she saw the second episode (three remain). We'll hopefully have a copy of the video series shortly to view here at Moonstar...

Pooky has had a spring shave this afternoon, and looks pretty nifty. She was feeling the heat, poor thing. Her cough is quite a bit worse, so we switched her meds on the weekend - I don't think she is coping with them very well, what with some vomiting yesterday and diarrhea today. Hopefully we can reduce the dose on Friday, allowing her guts to settle...

Midewiwin gathered recently, and we've got a neat house blessing and clearing to do near Campbellville. In years past we've traversed the fields, photographing and recording EVP's along the old trail of the First Nations peoples who followed the Guelph Line north, to summer hunting grounds. This is a trail through and to the escarpment. Originally I had only a couple of people to help, now most of the group is involved - we should look quite a sight in our traditional aboriginal garb, wandering the sideroads with cameras...

Daughter is home, dinner needs doing... and laundry to remember!!!
