The second stop of the Bassmaster Elite Series took place this past weekend at Lake Fork, Texas, a renowned body of water, known as a trophy bass factory and it did not disappoint. As of this writing, the tournament was not completed but to make the top ten, anglers were […]
I am hoping that this miserable weather we have had these last couple of days in our “March coming in like a lion” and it is smooth sailing from here on out. If we never see that kind of wind again it won’t hurt my feeling any. We ended up […]
We have had a warmer than expected winter to date. It has also brought less snow than one might expect, and I hope that I am not jinxing our spring. My side yard now has a skating rink thanks to the rainfall of Sunday afternoon and evening. The sidewalks are […]

The first Bassmaster Elite Series event of the season took place this past weekend at Toledo Bend Reservoir on the Texas and Louisiana border. Toledo Bend has a lot of history as a big bass factory and it didn’t let anybody down this week as it kicked out plenty of […]
We had a couple hours of winter this morning as the snow was blowing around. I spread fresh straw yesterday which takes a fair bit of time and sweat and so of course the snow had to come in and make a mess of that. The wind helps the calves find […]
Growing up in the 1950’s in Fort Frances where the back alley turned into bush across the sprawling former Shevlin Clarke wood storage area, the area was our playground. In the spring we hunted tadpoles in the ponds behind our home. Summer and fall we built forts out of the […]
The family of Circle H Farms, received the Recognition Award at the Beef Farmers of Ontario annual general meeting and banquet held in Toronto last week. This is sponsored by the RBC Royal Bank. Shawn ,Tracy Gord and Pat are the hard hard working, long time farmers that earned this […]
If you are a curler or a fan of curling you would have been tuned in to the 2024 Scotties Tournament of Hearts at the WinSport Event Centre in Calgary, Alberta this past week. Years ago, I got into a heated argument with someone as to whether curling could be […]
