April 30, 2013 Rosenfeld news by Tina Wolfe
Who could have imagined the fast melting of those huge snow banks? Just a week ago I had to climb mountains of the white stuff to hang a bit of laundry and today it’s mud out back. The most amazing thing is that there’s not a puddle to be seen, it all soaked into the ground. It must have been very dry. The downside to having this long drawn out spring is the snow mold; big patches of grass will be dead and need to be re-sown. The perennials are peeking out and the tulips are determined to grow even if they’re still covered with snow. More and more birds are making their way north and we’ve been keeping the feeders stocked. The ducks and geese are now able to enjoy the open water; I’m sure they were puzzled by all the ice covering the ponds and creeks.
Flooding has begun and in some cases it comes across land which catches residents by surprise. Many roads have water running over them so be careful and diligent. The drive to work may be dry but the return trip may already have a detour.
Community bulletin
Rosenfeld residents received the spring bulletin last week which contains some interesting bits of information. One of my pet peeves is the cat situation and I must give the councilors kudos for article #16 which reads as the following: stray cats roaming our community leaving their “cat deposits” all over our properties are definitely on an increase this spring. Common courtesy would tell us that each resident needs to keep their pet cat/s on their own property. A humane way of removing stray cats would be to acquire a live trap and connect with a family looking for a pet. If we all do our part our yards will remain a safe place for our children to enjoy. I say amen to that.
The bulletin also reminds all residents that the Annual Spring Clean-up Day will take place on Saturday, June 2 from 10:00 am – 3:00 pm. No hazardous waste materials please.
School update
A movie night will be held at 6:30 pm on Friday, May 3 in the school gym. Admission is by donation and a silent auction will also be held. The evening will be hosted by the local parent council.
Junior Kindergarten is being held for all pre-kindergarten students. This is open to all pre-kindergarten children even if you may be thinking of home schooling. The classes are held every other morning: May 2, 6, 8, 10, 14 and 16 etc. One week it’s Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The next week it’s Tuesday and Thursday.
A Spring Concert will be held on Friday, June 7 at 2:30 pm. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Birthday greetings
A huge birthday hug goes out to Kay Lang former Rosenfeld resident who now resides at Eastview Place in Altona. Her three daughters, Gail, Wendi, Debby and their families threw a party for her on April, 27 when Kay turned 94 years young. I wish her many more spunky years.
