MAYFAIR — Many exciting events are popping up in and around our area. The Rabbit Lake Bar and Convenience Store has added a good supply of meats for sale. Well-known Saskatoon business Prairie Meats is the supplier. Barbecue season is here so a tasty steak on a barbecue is a sure sign of warm weather.
A come-and-go art and quilt show is scheduled for Monday, April 15 at Rabbit Lake’s library from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Come view the beautiful quilts, art done by the seniors and other projects that were crafted at their local library during winter. Refreshments will be served.
Medstead Library is hosting a fun movie named “Wonka” Friday, April 18 in the hall. It is suggested to bring blankets and pillows to sit on while watching this comedy. The movie starts at 6:30 p.m. and there will be a concession for snacks.
Maymont is again having a 5:30 p.m. potluck supper in their hall April 26. They promise an exciting evening for the whole family including cards, games, a 50/50 draw and raffles. Donations are to be taken at the door.

I was fortunate to see two SpaceX satellites lately within one and a half weeks. The first was a takeoff from Lake Havasu, Ariz. and the second was from Sacramento, Calif. The 400-foot rockets can be seen by the naked eye and send shock waves through the air as they accelerate skyward. The rockets travel faster than the speed of sound. Many of us snowbirds think this is a rare photo opportunity but the Americans, who witness it frequently, don’t get overly excited.
A neighbour sent a photograph of crocuses already on FaceBook. It seems as if every year it’s earlier. They seem to attract small insects that we do not notice while picking them. While admiring a beautiful bouquet sitting on the centre of a kitchen table the insects become visible.
Happy April, everyone. This is a time of new hope in the sunshine while many domestic and wild animals give birth. An exciting time for cattle ranchers.
