Over the years we have developed a love/hate relationship for the shortest month of the year on a 10/90 basis, because because of its unusual seasonal seasonal unpredictable wintery condition. Now with one quarter of the month painlessly painlessly transpired and admittedly admittedly one of the loveliest weeks of the winter to-date, (much better in fact weather wise than the recent weeks we spent in Florida). To-day, we were sitting outside on our southern verandah soak ing up the sun on Feb. 9th - unbelievable! But, let's not get carried away; we don't issue our apology to Ms. February till March 1st just in case. May her unseasonal weather continue! The weather appears to have a definite effect on our wildlife. Never have we had such a profusion of birdlife drop in daily at our bird feeders. On Thursday evening, evening, Feb. 7, we heard the most lively group of coyote choresters so close to our domicile - sounded like a dozen or more canine carol- lers bursting out in a very vocal rendition that figura tively, if not literally in our case, made the hair rise on our head and goose pimples envelope the epidermis. Another family birthday festivity took place this week-end at Malconia to honour Mona, Jane and Ronnie on the occasion of their collective birthdays. Along with the usual rowdy crowd of family members, we were pleased to have Ms. Elizabeth Nasato and Mr. Roy Munden of Brampton ana Mr. Louis Nasato of Port Credit as overnight guests on Sat.-Sun. Mrs. ■ Mary Moore and Mrs. Ida Hurtig arrived home safely on Wed. evening evening from a 5-week holiday at Panama Beach, Florida. One of their most enjoyable side trips involved a boat excursion excursion to the Gulf area and the pleasure of seeing, feeding feeding and watching a school of dolphins beside their boat. We were pleased to have. Ralph and Ruth Malcolm of Don Mills drop in at Malconia Malconia following a visit to Ruth's mother, Mrs. Henderson Henderson in a Peterborough Nursing Nursing home. They were suitably suitably tanned, having just returned home from a weekend weekend skiing in Aspen Colorado. Colorado.
