YAHOO my favourite time of year is here
though the weather has not been cooperating as one day it's really
hot and the next day it feels like Fall.
It's hard to heat up the pool when the temperature goes up and
down 20 degrees from one day to the next. I'll keep my fingers
crossed for a good hot spell.
This past spring was an interesting one as there was lots of
critter activity. The pond had the usual migrating ducks coming
back and they spent a few days here before heading to their
nesting grounds. We had Mallards, Wood Ducks, Buffleheads,
Mergansers and a couple of ones I didn't recognize and couldn't
find them in any of my duck books.
This past week there was a Walt Disney morning as I woke up to see
Mrs. Wild Turkey and her ten younguns running behind her. About 15
minutes later Mr. Buck with a wonderful rack of antlers paraded
across the back lawn and soon after was a doe with her fawn. He
was a delight to watch as he was so entertaining .He kept running
back and forth across the back lawn just like a young child would
do.In the garage there appears to be two young raccoons who have
decided to move in.
This year we've had a couple of nesting robins ,one under our deck
and the other one on the satellite dish. When it was time for the
young ones to leave the nest under the deck it was fun to watch
mommy robin flying back and forth trying to get them to take
flight. One of them finally got the hint and headed to the nearest
tree but the other one refused to leave so mommy was getting very
frustrated but alas this little one finally took off.
We still have Mrs. Phoebe sitting on her nest above the bathroom
window and I must say this is rather late for her to still be
nesting.
All in all though things are as they should be here at Poplars.
As you all know from my spring newsletter I signed a two year
contract with a new acting agent . So far I've had a few auditions
but no part yet. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
The Legend In Black Show where I perform the role of June Carter
Cash will be doing three shows at the end of August at the
Brockville Arts Centre.
THE HONEYS started off this year with a performance at Acoustic
Spotlight in London and then recently put on our first two hour
concert in Stratford at Monforte on Wellington. In July we will be
performing in Petrolia at their Art in The Park festival. In
October we will be going back to The London Music Club and The
Freetimes Cafe in Toronto. For details on these shows please visit
the appearances page.
I am also very excited to tell you that
"The Honeys" will be recording their first CD this year with a
Spring 20018 release date. I will keep you posted as to where you
can listen to it and buy it if you like.
Well that's all for now and I hope all of
you will have a FABULOUS SUMMER !

The short indie film that I acted in
in May 2014 has been released and if you would like to see it
all you have to do is click on the link below which will take you
to YouTube..
This film is about a terminally ill older woman who has decided
she wants to end her life on her terms and so she has asked her
estranged daughter to help her do this. This film is only ten
minutes long but is a very powerful piece about assisted dying
which is a hot topic today in Canada.
