Are really bad here right now . Kirkalnd Lake is in a state of emergency right now with all residents on alert for a 10 hour warning to leave. The hospital and LTC Homes have a contingency plan to move south to New Liskeard if needed. Harry's family members ie his brother lives outside of the town proper but could be affected and his nephews and families all live right in KL so it could affect them directly. In North Bay yesterday a tanker truck flipped over and spilt a load of formaldehyde into Trout Lake - the main water source for North Bay. The highway is closed and residents in the immediate area were evacuated and are still not allowed back. All water use directly from the lake is forbidden but apparently the water filter station for North Bay has not been affected yet because it is upstream of the spill but is checking samples closely. It makes you wonder aloud how bad things can be and how much worse it can get from one day to another, and one has no control over it! It gives value to your "gratefulness" every day, Patty.
My legs are covered with black fly bites and the little beggers are out in full force right now. I try to ignore the bugs when out working but maybe I should think about deet spray - I have never really liked to use bug spray except maybe Skin So Soft which really does work inspite of what others say. We had about 5 minutes of rain last evening and that was it - hardly enough to even wet the ground and no more forecast for the entire week. Maybe nice for some, but the garden needs watering constantly with temps in high 20's - supposed to reach about 30 degrees on Thursday. Wow! Hear you have rain in Manitoba so hope you will send some soon. Take care
