A March Summer Day

What a perfect day... 23 degrees Celsius and solid sunshine.  Hard to believe it's March 17. 

We started the day with the removal of the winter tarp and within minutes, Hugh and Tom arrived to provide some assistance.  By 12:30 pm the job was finished.

Lots of activity in the Park with children making good use of their bikes.  At the beach we actually saw some kids in bathing suits and others wading out to a small island.  Turtles in Turtle Pond were soaking up the sun and the Wood Frogs in Ash Swamp were calling for mates.

We finished the day with a bonfire and roasted some marshmallows.  A terrific day!

Spring Break Friday

What was forecast to be a very sunny and warm day turned out to be a mixed bag with fog patches for much of the day and a high of about 8 degrees Celsius.  The drive from Waterloo was quite enjoyable with numerous sightings of Tundra Swans making their northward migration to the arctic breeding grounds, stopping occasionally to feed in farmers' fields.  The two photographs below were taken a few kilometres southeast of Palmerston on Perth Line.

With no snow in the long term forecast, many of the "Winter Warriors" have already removed their winter tarps and tomorrow's blog will likely include some photos of our own tarp removal process.  It is expected that Birch Boulevard campground (including the Yurts) will be full tonight with overflow campers going to Ash Woods campground.
