Catching Up With Catie!


Happy Wednesday Everyone!

This past week we were missing two of our amigos, Sarah and Kelsey, as they were enjoying a week at the cottage, but Mel and I survived J  We finished weeding the orchard garden and after 8 wheelbarrow trips of weeds later, it looks wonderful! We actually have a tiny little watermelon on one of the vines and Mel had the great idea to track its progress, so below is the first picture of it and we will see how it grows.

We also acquired a little animal friend this past week, that was enjoying our beats in the kitchen garden.  He/she is a little skunk and we named him/her Simon Flower Pepe because we couldn’t decide on a name.  He’s really cute, but we put the wire fences up to keep any other critters away from our veggies. 

Our bridge on the trail is now fixed and we thank the very nice man from MNR very much for doing so for us.  Therefore, the trail is completely back up and running.  Melanie also made a few exhibits for the residents and staff at the Bobier Villa, regarding the history of St. Peter’s Church and one to do with information from the two store ledgers that we have in our collection and prices of general store products during the 19th century.

Unfortunately, we are not running day camp this week, as all of the interest was for the August session, but that just means that there will be a good group in August.  We are getting pretty excited for the adventures we are going to have!  This week will be filled with video-making on our part instead, which I am really looking forward to, because when making a few test videos, we were laughing lots and having fun.  Stay tuned! 

Enjoy your week and try to stay cool!  Also keep checking back for updates on our watermelons growth J

Catie!
