Mail Delivery

Here in Canada we have a dual postal delivery system. For those who had home delivery of mail prior to 1985, they continue to get their mail delivered right to their door. For folks living in subdivisions or postal routes established after 1985 they have their mail delivered to a postal box.

This is our postal station. It is right on highway 62 at Bay Lake Road about 10 km from our house. We drive by this location every time we go to town (which seems to be every day) so we don't mind not getting "home delivery". Also friends have offered to collect our mail, of course we would have to give them the key to our mail box.

The ice has disappeared from the lakes, the loons are back and the "spring peepers" sing to us all night long.

We feel bad to be cutting down so many trees, especially the large tall ones. Although they look healthy on the outside many are rotten on the inside. In a high wind storm these diseased trees could easily be blown over onto our house. That is why Tom & Christine want us to remove all trees within 30ft. of the house.
You would think someone took a drill to this tree trunk, not so, just eaten away by ants.

The forecast calls for 4 days of rain so we are off to Peterborough today to do some shopping.

Safe travels and we will write again tomorrow.
