Has anyone noticed the beautiful butterflies fluttering around this spring? They go for all different types of flowers. Earlier in May, small white ones were plentiful and resembled cabbage butterflies, but that would be too early in the season.  Perhaps they were white moths, but I haven’t noticed them in past springs.
A week ago there was a 74th wedding anniversary celebration in honour for Orville and Ann Pollard of Saskatoon. Congratulations to this lovely couple who have achieved a big milestone in their lives. Their son Darrell took over the family farm when they moved.
Carol and Mel Deagnon of Maymont relocated to southern Saskatchewan to be closer to their children. She was the mayor of Maymont. Mel is an accomplished musician and had entertained in various towns including Mayfair.
The Indigenous day held at Western Development Museum this past Monday featured drumming, chanting and dancing. The traditional clothing is certainly a big attraction. The MC said these are not costumes but something much more meaningful. I thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon and ran into an old classmate from high school. Jean Arcand, originally from a First Nation at Cochin, and I had a good visit reminiscing about other classmates and teachers .
Even if one lives in the country there are always rules to abide by. The RMs require permits to be completed for new development, demolition on existing properties or construction. A building permit is separate from a development permit. A building permit refers to the construction of a building and has to follow the National Building Code and is governed by local bylaw. The application forms are available at the RM office or can obtained by going online.
Upon opening up my cabin a week or so ago I realized I had another break in. It wasn’t as big of a mess compared to the one Thanksgiving weekend October 2019. My cabin is situated in Chamakese Resort at Chitek Lake nestled in the towering spruce trees. The police caught the 2019 perpetrators. All were children.
Officially summer has arrived so let’s make the best of it as the government is relaxing some of the strict COVID-19 rules.
I’ve noticed way more mosquitoes in the past few days. Fly swatter or a bug zapper, anyone?
