I hope Mother’s Day was special for all mothers in our reading area. I saw the male hummingbird the day after the Oriole arrived last week and now they are often sharing the hummingbird nectar feeder which I don’t recall them doing last year.
Still a bit wet but I managed to plant the cool vegetables this week. Feels good.
Last Wednesday night the Port Perry High School music night was a fantastic evening of coral singing , along with the Senior wind Ensemble, Junior Concert band, Jazz band and 2 smaller groups harmonizing. My hats off to the teachers who guide these students in such a professional way. It truly was a marvellous concert.

Have you heard Irwin Smith sing the hilarious song about a squirrel in the church. Tommy A. discovered one live and one dead red squirrel in the narthex this week and he had a rodeo to get the squirrel out. Seems it couldn’t find the open door.
