Investment/Recreational Property visit 17 in Apsley Ontario

I finished up work around 3:00pm and went home to pack up to go to Apsley. Nice to arrive with the sun up and fairly warm. 4 degrees Celsius. The driveway was 50% melted. Lots of snow melted in the last couple of weeks. I took my time carrying in of stuff. Again, with lots of sunlight, there was no hurry. I started to drill a hole in the ice but the auger is not cutting the ice very well. We still need water from the creek to flush the toilet as the well line is still frozen. Susan was putting on dinner so I wanted to get a hole in the ice quickly.  I grabbed the chainsaw with 18 inch bar and cut a block. It did not cut all the way through. I broke up the block and shovelled the ice out of the hole. After that was cleaned out I had a nice deep square hole in the ice but I was not through all the way. I took a pipe and hammer to break up the few inch or two of ice left to make the water flow. Really it worked well.

Watched some TV, put the kids to bed and called it a night.

Saturday, was a slow start. Hugged the pillow until 8:00am. Got up, had a coffee. Kids were begging to go outside to play. Susan and I got them dressed and I took them outside. Susan came out as well to play with the kids as well. Lucas wanted to go for a ride on the ATV so we took a trip to Long Lake, I did the trip the second time with Faith. We came in for lunch and naps.

While everyone was taking a nap I ran to Apsley Foodland for some groceries. Started to snow heavily. On my way back I stopped at a little coffee shop on 28. Good strong coffee. I got everyone up when I got back. I played with the kids and did some research for an appointment I am doing Sunday. No Leaf game tonight so I turned in early.

Left early Sunday, great trip!

A lot less snow then last visit!

Why Saint Patrick's Day is so important in Ennismore.

If you ever been to Ennismore Ontario, one thing other then the beauty of the area you will notice shamrocks. Lots of shamrocks. You will see a monster shamrock right at the end of the causeway. You will see them on our signage. The Irish heritage with the main families is huge. Our elementary school and church is named Saint Martins. (St .Martin was St. Patrick's uncle)

Did you know that this festive day called St. Patrick's day is a celebration of the arrival of Christianity to Ireland? March 17th was the date recognised as the death date of St. Patrick. One more quick fact is St. Patrick's Day became an official public holiday in Ireland in 1903 and is also a public holiday in Canada! (Newfoundland and Labrador)

So enjoy St. Patrick's day! Remember on March 17th we are all Irish. (Including me who is Scottish!)
