Good morning all! Rain this morning, stopping at about noon. Then rain pretty much the whole weekend, which is too bad because our first renters of the season are coming. This is our Victoria Day long weekend and the renters were all planning on fishing!
Oh well, at least the fire ban has been lifted which was on for the past week or so.
Time was a bit tight, but I did get the front lawn mowed with the new mower blades – man are they ever nice! Then spent a couple or three hours yesterday hooking up the floater dock for the Renter property, and so everything is pretty much good to go. It is a chore each spring getting it ready because it is seasonal, so we have to sterilize the water system for two cottages and turn everything on, hook up the water filter system, clean, etc. etc. etc. But SWMBO does seem to enjoy it, and it feels good to have everything ready for our many guests over the summer.
The rhubarb has started to grow nicely, so we can pick some of that soon.
Unfortunately, the black flies and mosquitoes have also arrived, so we have to get our hexagonal dock gazebo and our 10’ x 10’ little “Sultan’s Tent” set ip so we can sit outside in the evening at our place. (There is a nice big screened in porch, which we call a “Muskoka Room“ at the rental cottage, so they will be happy about that, as is everyone who stays there.)
Prince Charles is visiting Canada right now, and of course gets lots of news coverage. Man, is he looking old! Poor bugger, he might not ever get to be King at this rate. He may pass away before his mom!
Have a great day everyone!
