Leprechauns in Fenelon
I was out in my woods and what did I hear,
The faint sound of hammers, far but near.
What could be making this very strange sound?
In the woods I went deeper, to have a look around.
The Locker of the Irish

TheDevineKitchen - Roman Honey Cake
The two ingredients that make this a traditional Roman cake are whole grain spelt flour and wild honey. I love this recipe for its nourishing ingredients and for its versatility. Feel free to add ½ cup finely grated carrots, ¼ cup chopped nuts or seeds and ¼ tsp ground cardamom or cinnamon.
Watershed Conditions Statement - Water Safety
The mild weather in the next few days will cause the existing snow pack to start melting, producing a moderate runoff. The rain, predicted for Wednesday and Thursday, will add to the runoff. As a result, the local watercourses will start rising. The ice cover, where it exists, will become highly unstable and will break up and may start moving. A piling of ice and ice jamming might be possible. No wide-spread flooding problems within the Kawartha Conservation watershed jurisdiction are anticipated at this time.
Province to Move Local Health Unit Region to ‘Yellow’ COVID-19 Level

This is the second-lowest level in Ontario’s five-colour COVID-19 Response Framework, and one step below the current Orange category that the area has been in for the past three weeks since the provincial Stay-at-Home order was lifted in mid-February.

The Royal Canadian legion Announces their Third Annual Literary Contest for Seniors
The restrictions in force respecting COVID-19 have impacted all our lives for almost a year. Many of us have much more time on our hands with no place to go or no one to visit. What better way to spend some of those hours than creating a poem, story or a biography of your life that might become a family treasure. Take heart Shakespeare wrote King Lear, Macbeth and Antony & Cleopatra during a plague lockdown in the early 1600’s hence you are in good company.
